Gay marriage in Washington: Amazon's Jeff Bezos gives $2.5 million
LA Times ^ | July 27, 2012 | Michael Muskal

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, have given $2.5 million to fund efforts in the state of Washington to legalize same-sex marriage, effectively doubling the current electoral war chest of proponents.

The gift was announced by Washington United for Marriage, the coalition working to pass Referendum 74 in November. It's believed to be the largest individual gift “to secure or protect the freedom to marry,” the group said in a statement released on its website. Washington is one of four states where the issue of same-sex marriage will be on the ballot this year.

I guess Chick-fil-a won't be catering the affair.

Never fall for the lie that this has anything to do with marriage or equality. This is about legitamizing perversion in our society

Now Amazon.

At this rate, there won't be anyone left for me to do business with.

“What alternatives are there to Amazon?”

Someone posted bonanza.com on another thread. I’ve used Amazon regularly since 2000. I prefer to wait 3-5 days than get something immediately from Wal-mart. Living in Las Vegas, I don’t go out and battle traffic unless absolutely necessary. No more Amazon for me, and I currently have an order in transit. No more of my Kindle Fire. I won’t be able to use it and not think about Amazon supporting sodomy. I’m sickened that the profits they’ve made off me have gone for supporting that.

Amazon is an Anti Christian organization that discriminates against families consisting of a man and a woman.

I think we need to boycott them.

Drat! My daughter recently gave me a new Kindle Fire and I love it. What to do to download books — any suggestions?

So why isn’t this “controversial” or “causing a stir” like the Chick-Fil-A deal is? Huh, LA Slimes? No slant to your “stories”, huh?

Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie certainly got it right when they created Amazon. It is a great website that I use frequently.

Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie should not support heresy; it will do them no good, nor will it help Amazon. Maybe a competitor to Amazon will appear on the horizon. I would go there.

While these folks understand the market need for a web based retail business, they do not understand basic biology, sexual union, and the purpose of marriage between a man and an woman. I hope and pray that they repent.

This is the path that they have chosen and I will make my choice not to buy from them! Choices have consequences!

I can’t speak to all manner of goods, but I found a toaster oven I’ve been looking for at the local Belks. It’s the same price as amazon. I know where I’ll be buying my oven, and the place doesn’t start with the letter “A.”

Cheers.
