"Wash. gay marriage boosted; Amazon founder donates $2.5m for ballot effort" by Michael D. Shear | New York Times, July 28, 2012
NEW YORK — Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and his wife, MacKenzie, have agreed to donate $2.5 million to help pass a same-sex marriage referendum in Washington state, instantly becoming among the largest financial backers of gay marriage rights....
Bezos, who founded Amazon.com in 1994 in Seattle and remains its president, now tops a growing list of heterosexual business executives who are replacing wealthy gay people as some of the biggest donors to the movement behind same-sex marriage. Bill Gates and Steven A. Ballmer of Microsoft each gave $100,000 to the referendum campaign, according to its officials.
But with the seven-figure gift, Bezos — a famously private executive who runs a $48 billion-a-year retail empire — has now set the bar higher.
The gay rights movement is encountering setbacks and achievements. In May, President Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage.
But the push across the country has repeatedly run into well-financed, well-organized opposition. There have been 32 ballot measures that would have legalized or banned same-sex marriage. Opponents have won in all 32, according to Silk.
That opposition has mobilized in Washington state. The website of Preserve Marriage Washington says that ‘‘the definition of marriage in Washington is under attack’’ and argues that ‘‘if this law goes unchallenged, voters would have no say and marriage would be changed for every person in our state from being the union of one man and one woman to being a genderless institution.’’
Same-sex marriage was legalized by Washington’s Legislature in February. But opponents collected enough signatures to put the legislation to the voters.
