massive grass-roots campaign that seeks to reach 300,000 voters in the

Lambda Legal, cited several recent polls that show public support for

issue in her unsuccessful quest to become Miss USA -- and propelled her
into cable-news fame and anti-gay-marriage advertisements."

Kind of unfair to link all diggers together like that. Digg routinely carries pro-gay stories on the front page. They just have trolls, like everyone else.

Yep. The church excommunicates out gay priests, but protects closeted pedophiles.

If anyone has some spare cash just sitting around that they want to waste, just go ahead and send it in to them. Maybe we'll get another one of their brill campaigns or super memorable commercials.
