Minnesota To Require Full Disclosure of Corporate Donations For State’s Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment | Minnesota’s Campaign Finance Board ruled today that both sides of the campaign surrounding the state’s 2012 constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage must disclose the sources of their corporate donations. The National Organization of Marriage (NOM) and the Minnesota Family Council (MFC) unsuccessfully argued against the outcome, alleging their donors could suffer intimidation at the hands of “homosexual activists”. LGBT groups see the decision as a victory for voters’ right to know who is funding these campaigns before they enter the ballot box. –Sarah Bufkin
