Republican but not conservative. Many “conservative” corporate board members were in the vanguard of the homosexual movement (Dick Cheney, Laura Bush types). This is the next step.

Homofascists ousted the founder and CEO of Mozilla because he donated his own money to the popularly approved Prop 8 marriage ballot initiative in California.

Dark money—campaign funds raised by 501(c)(4) designated non-profit corporations whose donors are exempt from disclosure—has become an increasingly large fraction of outside spending in American elections at both the state and the federal level.

These results also show disclosure laws have an effect on a donor’s calculus to contribute to a political cause...

These advances in transparency may dissuade some donors from supporting a candidate or initiative because of the backlash they may find themselves subject to. For instance, donors to California’s Proposition 8, a same-sex marriage ban on the 2008 general election ballot that was ultimately successful, are an often-cited example of donors facing real economic consequences for their political giving. According to Johnson et al. (2010):

An enterprising and anonymous programmer mashed up the names and geographic locations of the donors with Google maps, producing www.eightmaps.com, a site where any visitor could see who in what neighborhoods contributed to the campaign. As a result many individual supporters were targeted with insults, threats and boycotts...
