In this NY Times story about how the Mormon Church tipped the scales in California’s recent vote on Proposition 8, the proposed gay marriage ban (same-sex marriages have been halted temporarily awaiting court decision on the legality of the discriminatory referendum), there was a mention of about how one Prop. 8 donor, Alan C. Ashton, the grandson of a past president of the Mormon Church, gave $1 million to the campaign. Turns out he’s a co-founder of WordPerfect. Read the story here on cnet.com.
One definite result of Prop. 8: A lot of us are becoming more careful about how we spend our hard-earned rainbow-tinted dollars.
Note to Ashton: Your software sucked anyway.
