Ex-Mormon Donates $1 Million

Ex-Mormon Bruce Bastian has donated $1 million to California's No on Prop. 8 campaign in reaction to the Latter-day Saints Church's recent public stance favoring the ballot measure. Bastian gave $5,000 in May, but after the church's formal statement expecting all California Mormons to "do all [they] can to support the proposed constitutional amendment," which would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, Bastian upped his donation, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
