UPDATE: Matt/Jubal Cunningham, over at the Red-faced County Blog has proven my point by writing a disgusting post thanking Broadwater for supporting Yes on 8.
Garden Grove Councilman Bruce Broadwater, who is supposed to be a Democrat, gave $1,000 to the Yes on 8 Campaign.
Broadwater, who is a Mormon, has been a favorite of local Republicans for years. Now we know why. Moreover, I once heard him say that the Koreans in Garden Grove were not going to be a factor for long as they are inter-marrying with whites. Nice. How does this guy keep getting elected? And when are the Democrats going to toss this guy out of their party already?
Click the “Read More” tag below to see proof of Broadwater’s contribution to the Yes on 8 campaign.
You can look up other contributors to Yes on 8 at this link.
Irvine attorney Steve Young, who has run for Congress as a Democrat several times, is also a Mormon. But he opposed Prop. 8. Way to go Steve! You might want to have a chat with Broadwater…
At least there’s at least one decent democrat left!
Who would have ever guessed that the great defenders of “traditional” marriage in this country would be the Mormons and that the minorities of color in this country would overwhelmingly support this kind of discrimination?
Gay marriage thy nickname is irony.
Thanks for the link, maybe there is a political solution after all.
I pluged in Santa Ana and counted the yes and no votes.
So it would appear that most Santa Ana voters, Who put their money into a campaign, did not agree that same sex marriages should get special rights.
Cook,
The database does not include contributions below $99. And since when is marriage a “special right?”
Prop. 8 was a shameful measure. There is no excuse for ANY Democrats to support such a measure.
Good Job Bruce Broadwater for afirming what every culture and religion has aupported since the beginning of time – that marriage is only between a real man and a real woman!!!
Art, I know I’m asking for a lot, but: a comparison photo with Uncle Fester?

Marriage has always been a “special right”
This question is not about equal rights and never has been. It is about a group who want special rights for themselves.
There are many groups with special rights, handicapped, old age, children, veterans, etc etc.
Society determines what special rights are and who should get them and that is what “8” is about.
But if you think it is a question about equal rights, then why not get rid of all special rights instead?
So Cook, why has marriage always been a special right? History seems to show that until relatively recently it included the idea of the female partner as property. That seems to have changed somewhat, why not other changes?
When I was younger, I use to think “how far human kind as come in the world, look at all the progress and achievements. As I have gotten older, I don’t think human kind as progress much at all.
Why has marriage always been a “special right”? I think it is because it is/was the greatest social achievement humankind has ever attained.
Why do gays need normal people to relieve them of THEIR GUILT?
Homosexuals have all the civil rights they need under the law. They don’t to start calling what they do “marriage”.
