Protesters target Orlando Magic owner for supporting marriage amendment



The Orlando Sentinel reports

Professional sports and political street theater intersected Sunday as opponents of a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution vented their wrath on Magic owner Rich DeVos on the day season-ticket holders were selecting their seats.

The protesters were calling attention to DeVos’ contribution of $100,000 to Florida4Marriage, a group that supports Amendment 2, which would add the existing ban on gay marriage to the state constitution. Opponents say the measure could also deny domestic-partnership benefits for unmarried couples — gay and straight.

    Right on Devos, a man after my own heart! Keep the faith my man and stand up for what is right in this screwed up world. Which reminds me I need to send my donation to my Daughter so she can donate it to the Florida4marriage.
