They could have just used "TEX" instead.

Already taken. I donated under the name Tex Bigot. Look it up.

I have no comment on those who don't donate, but looking over the small donors list I was touched by several donations from people I know can barely make ends meet. These people are not motivated by any antipathy toward gays (indeed, one of them works as a hospice caregiver, frequently with AIDS patients, and is a kind of a local Mother Teresa), but rather out of devotion to the Church and its leaders. The Anti-8's who tar such donors with accusations of hate and bigotry are wrong, at least in the case of these donors. I'll be happy for their sakes when this thing ends next week.

Two comments. First, the church has not donated. Instead, the 19M is from members. My guess is the 12 don't donate because they do not want to try to draw the distinction between themselves and the church in the press. Note, I said that is a guess.
Second, the linked web site actually understates the number of members donating. At least from my area, as I recognize many names that are not identified as members who are , in fact, members. Thus, the number of donating members is certainly higher I also concur with PAC's observations.

This is an interesting article on the toll taken by the Church's involvement in Prop 8:

Didn't I see a similar quote about opponents to Prop 8 siding with Lucifer on CB?
