An investigation by the St. Petersburg Times into funding for the Florida4Marriage has found that of the $193,000 that has been raised by the group $150,000 came from a single donor - the Florida Republican Party.

The paper says that the donation was made in a single check on Nov. 25.

"It certainly was helpful," Florida4Marriage chair John Stemberger tells the Times

Stemberger said that the donation was unsolicited.

Florida Republican Party Executive Director Andy Palmer told the Times that it made the donation because the party believed that similar ballot measures helped to increase the Republican vote in battleground states during the 2004 elections.

So the GOP in Florida is using the lives of gay people as pawns in their election strategy, apparently.

Would someone like to try one more time to convince me that the Republican Party isn't anti-gay and doesn't deserve the reputation as such that they've built for themselves? 'Cuz I'm still not buying it. It doesn't get much more blatant than this.

I don't see why the GOP has such a problem with gays getting married. Really, like it affects them.

Don't you see? If we allow gay marriage, then everyone will start becoming gay. This secret gay agenda should be stopped immediately. The fate of humanity is at stake here.
