Last night, the American Foundation for Equal Rights (the organization that led the legal battle to challenge Proposition 8) held a fund-raising event in New York City, where they raised $1.2 million.
Ken Mehlman, former Repubican party official who recently announced he was gay, was one of the chairs of the event--an event with huge support from Wall Street.
“It was an honor to be able to bring together so many to support AFER’s historic effort on behalf of the right of all Americans to marry the person they love,” Mr. Mehlman said in an e-mail to DealBook.
Mehlman thanked the many first-time donors and honored their committment to help the cause for equal rights.
Well, that made my day!
