Microsoft Corp. has donated $100,000 to
the campaign supporting more partnership rights for Washington
state gay couples.
That's the largest
single donation in favor of Referendum 71, which asks voters to approve
or reject a new
law that expands
domestic partnerships for gay and lesbian couples. Microsoft is based in
Redmond.
The
"approve" campaign committee, called Washington Families
Standing Together, has raised about $780,000 overall,
and spent about
$200,000.
The
"reject" campaign, called Protect Marriage Washington, has
raised about $60,000, and spent about $35,000.
