According to Associated Press, Redmond based Microsoft Corp.
has made the largest single donation in favor of Washington state’s Referendum
71, which asks voters to approve or reject a new law expanding domestic
partnerships for gay and lesbian couples.
The $100,000 donation was made to the group, Washington Families
Standing Together (WFST) who is pushing for approval of the law and expansion
of partnership rights for gay Washington couples.
In total WFST has raised about $780,000 overall and has
spend about $200,000. The counter effort, called Protect Marriage Washington, has
raised about $60,000, and spent about $35,000.

You can show you displeasure to M$ by not buying their products. Switch your office to google apps and buy only Apple or Google Chrome computers.
