Sonics-Backed Anti-Gay Marriage Website Suddenly "Under Construction"
A few days of awful publicity later, the website of Americans United to Preserve Marriage, the anti-gay-marriage organization bankrolled by Sonics owners, is now "under construction."
Tom Ward donated $475K and Aubrey McClendon $625K to the organization in 2004. Josh Feit broke this story on Slog, where a commenter pointed out that the WNBA team payroll cap that year was only $647K. McClendon practically could've paid for the whole team himself with money he instead used to back an effort to halt civil rights progress. Go team!
As of May, 2006, americansformarriage.org looked like this (thanks, Internet Wayback Machine!).
