GOP Power Players Fundraise for Gay Marriage

Suddenly high profile GOP members come out and openly support gay marriage with a fundraiser hosted by former Bush guy Ken Melhman and former McCain campaign chief along with

Ben Ginsburg, one of the Republican Party's top lawyers
Henry Kravis and Paul Singer, two of the biggest donors to the GOP

"According to one gay-rights activist involved in similar efforts, the fundraising pool goes even deeper"

Quote:
As one prominent Republican who supports gay rights put it:

"I think there is a growing mass of people in Republican politics who are fundamentally sick and tired about being lectured to about morality and how to live your life by a bunch of people who have been married three or four times and are more likely to be seen outside a brothel on a Thursday night than being at home with their kids... There is a fundamental indecency to the vitriol and the hatred directed against decent people because of their sexuality. People have reached a critical mass with this."
