Mormons Boost Antigay Marriage Effort.

The article concentrates on the financial contribution of the Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of about $15.4 million to support "Proposition 8" ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in California. The Mormon support of the initiative has given the "Yes on 8" advocates the fund-raising lead, while "No on 8" supporters trail behind with $13 million. A brief background on the history of same-sex marriage in California is provided, noting other religious groups that have contributed money to support the initiative.
