The proposition 8 campaign in California costed more than $80,000,000.00. The goal, limiting the use of the word marriage in legal context in the state of California. It wasn't about rights, because in California, the supreme court has ruled that gays should have exactly the same rights. Something they reiterated after Prop 8 passed and it was challenged in court. It is also not limiting the use of the word in religious context. Everybody can get married at a LGBT-friendly church. Just let it sink in. Just let it sink in that this campaign was about whether same-sex couples may use the word marriage in a legal context. Nothing else.
Just think about what could have been done with $80,000,000.00? I know what I would do. What would you do?

I thought it said 'eighty-thousand' at first, then saw how many zeroes there really were! Who has that kind of money to burn! Give it to me!
