Update: Anti-Family Gay Lobby Republican super PAC raises $2.75 million...TWO DONORS GIVE ENTIRE AMOUNT!
So two rich liberals get to overturn traditional marriage versus the millions who passed Constitutional referendums in a majority of states in the U.S.A. by turning the Congress into a hunt and destroy Christians squad," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
The liberal Washington Post reports:
A Republican super PAC aimed at supporting pro-gay marriage GOP candidates raised a strong $2.75 million in the first quarter of 2014.
The three-month haul for American Unity PAC is by far the biggest so far for the super PAC, which was around for the 2012 election but had relatively little funding. The committee raised about the same amount in all of 2012 and pulled in just $260,000 in 2013.
The super PAC was boosted early this year by $1.75 million in donations from GOP donor Paul Singer, who has been among the most vocal and well-funded proponents of gay marriage in the GOP.
Another $1 million came from billionaire Massachusetts investor Seth Klarman. Only one other person contributed more than $25 to the super PAC.
Gay Republican candidates are running in three of the national party's top-targeted races this year. Should any of them win, they would be the first openly gay Republicans to win election to Congress.
