Even after Microsoft gave its word they would stay neutral in the culture war swirling around our efforts to defend traditional marriage, the company made a token gesture by donating $100,000 to support SB 5688 (Everything But Marriage), scheduled to go before Washington voters in November. That represents small potatoes compared to the 65 million dollars bequeathed by Ric Weiland to promote homosexual marriage. Makes one wonder why the cause needed the Microsoft donation. Rather than fund the homosexual marriage efforts, maybe the 65 million dollars went to the legislature in Olympia. I suggest Microsoft give $100,000 to the coalitions upholding traditional marriage in this state, just to make it fair!

Another question is why is the homosexual community so elated to receive more funding when they claim their work is already done—everyone supports homosexual marriage? I guess we'll see if that's true come November...

Uh, I don't think Microsoft is throwing it's money around to be "fair." They made a stand on one side. That request is just silly.

I suggest you die, Hutcherson. Just to make it fair.

Microsoft will throw some "fair" money his way when he admits there's nothing wrong with the "homosexual lifestyle"; you know, just so everyone's being fair.

A token is $100,000? Man, talk about inflation.

Like I said when I was 8 and in an arcade, "Can I have a token?"

Who said that and when?

I hope that old fool lives long enough to see full marriage equality in WA.

Make what fair? Voting on human rights isn't fair. In fact it's downright wrong.

Hutch, buby, baby, maybe all those hate hormones you keep floating around your body are the reason you have prostate cancer?

Uhh... Hello, I understand chemo messes with the brain, but this donation was made in support of equality, fairness, justice, and towards domestic partnerships that are a benefit to all couples and all families. This "token" does not suggest that Microsoft does not also support his definition of marriage. He's willingly promoting a lie, he knows it and we know it. Sad.

@9,

Stress and anger can contribute to cancer and heart disease.

Doesn't he have a power port to pray about?

Guys, take it easy on him. It's got to be really hard to be that angry all the time.

PS–Confidential to Hutch: Part of Weiland's 65 million dollars went to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. I hope you're not benefiting from that Big Gay Money.
