I don't know if it was posted before, if so, here it is again.


Romney’s donation came on Oct. 14, 2008, just weeks before Californians voted to pass the measure.

"Mitt Romney’s funding of a hate-filled campaign designed to drive a wedge between Americans is beyond despicable," Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese said in a statement. "Not only has Romney signed NOM’s radical marriage pledge, now we know he’s one of the donors that NOM has been so desperate to keep secret all these years."

The HRC provided a copy of a tax filing from NOM that the group said it received from a whistle-blower. The donation came through a PAC based in Alabama, one of a handful of state-based groups used by Romney to fund staff and travel between his presidential runs.

Romney’s campaign stood by the donation, arguing it underscores the candidate’s belief in marriage.
