I brought this issue up originally because I didn't know that a magazine I purchase is owned by a guy who supports Prop 8.This thread wasn't started in order to spark a discussion on whether you agree with Prop 8 or not, it was started as an attack on MBA because the owner made a donation to one side of the issue. He didn't make that donation in the name of MBA, or in the names of its employees or the names of its subscribers. He did it in his own name, with his own money and did not claim to speak for anyone else.
Interesting that the owner of RM would say this site has a stance, thus claiming he speaks for every member here. It's obvious that not everyone here is on the same side of the argument, but the owner is using his position to make that assertion.
I didn't recommend to the mods to suspend any RMers who hates gays or are going to continue to buy MBA. I just wanted others to know what the deal is.
I don't think it is very hard to make a connection between a guy who donates money to a cause many Californians disagree with, and the business he owns.
Roland Hinz and I can disagree respectfully on this matter, but I don't see how I can support his business if he is going to put his cash into issues which negatively affect me and my family.
I applause DirtyDog for taking a stance, considering it could lose him business. But I think the bottom line is this: supporting gay marriage is the right thing to do, so ultimately, Ridemonkey will benefit from this.
