In July 2008, hotelier and developer Doug Manchester donated $125,000 to help gather signatures for a proposition that would ban same-sex marriage in California. The early money was crucial to getting the initiative—which ultimately passed—on the ballot. At the time, he told The New York Times that he made the donation because of “my Catholic faith and longtime affiliation with the Catholic Church,” which preferred that marriage remain between a man and a woman. Indeed, the Catholic Church has vehemently opposed gay marriage. Then again, it’s also not too keen on divorce.

 

On Oct. 9, 2008, Manchester ended 43 years, eight months and nine days of marriage to Elizabeth Manchester by moving out of their La Jolla abode. The couple spent the next several months trying to reach a quiet settlement on how best to distribute millions of dollars in cash and other assets. In July, those talks totally broke down, and Doug started playing financial hardball with Elizabeth, allegedly draining the couple’s shared accounts and stealing her mail. On Aug. 6, Elizabeth filed a petition for redress in family court. All of the information in this story comes from those petitions. CityBeat contacted attorneys for both parties, but neither returned calls by press time.

 

 

God probably doesn't really care about those silly vows he made in church to stay with that woman forever.

How is this relevant to the gay marriage initiative exactly?

Basically, whoever wants to get married is an idiot.

It's not. It's just another example of those "defending" marriage who actually care nothing about marriage and are more interested in pushing the homophobe agenda.

I think one of the central arguments against gay marriage is that they want to "uphold the sanctity of the institution of marriage". Apparently this guy wanted to uphold the sanctity of marriage so he could wipe his ass on it.

It's clear he's spending time with his friend Raoul

Not to mention the entire "YES on Prop 8" campaign was bankrolled by the Mormon and Catholic churches. No big surprise here though. Organized religion is all about judgment and pushing values on others, while following books preaching love and tolerance.

Well if you make people feel guilty enough about themselves, then they're more likey to pay-up to purge their sins.

You do realize that the no on 8 homos raised around twice as much in donations as the yes on 8 crowd, right?

Good to know the ratio of tolerant people who let others live their own focking lives is almost 2 to 1.

Are you part of the "tolerant people"? It's hard to tell, what with you judging this guy for getting a divorce and all.

Show me where I even made mention of this guy getting a divorce? Right, didn't think so.

You questioned his church, and for that matter, anyone who is religious.

 

Nice tolerance.

Thanks ReclinerWhiner. I've been trying to cut back on the whine, so I've been ignoring your posts. Nice to see I can get my whine fix anyway.

Equal rights, no problem. (which they already have)

Special rights, problem.

You have whined about this guy in several posts in this thread, so I'm not sure how much you have "cut back on the whine".

I don't think I've whined so much as pointed out the obvious. And I'm not asking you to cut back, I find your whining quite enjoyable.
