Billionaire donor Paul Singer held a secret, closed doors meeting with other megadonors to promote same-sex “marriage” within the Republican Party.
The Washington Blade reported that Singer and a number of wealthy donors, politicians, and the head of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) met on Thursday to discuss how to swing the GOP in favor of redefining marriage.
Relying on four anonymous sources, the Blade found that HRC president Chad Griffin, a Democratic operative, was expected to speak at the event. Prominent Republicans are expected to be in attendance, including former Bush administration Solicitor General Ted Olson, who has led lawsuits against California and Virginia in support of same-sex “marriage.”
Former GOP Senator Norm Coleman, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman — who “came out” as gay years after his term ended — and Republican Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania were also expected to attend. Dent is one of the few House Republicans in favor of changing the legal definition of marriage, while Coleman has lobbied for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act on Capitol Hill. Coleman now heads the American Action Network and is on the board of the Republican Jewish Committee.
Singer, whose gay son has reportedly influenced his support for same-sex “marriage,” has long been a powerhouse GOP donor on issues like lower taxes and reducing regulations. In the last several years, he has also become a leading influence in the marriage battles, donating at least $10 million to states to redefine marriage.
