"With same-sex marriage legal in the state in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is reaping the political rewards: A source emails over an invitation to a $12,500 per person "intimate evening" fundraiser on Sept. 21 with Cuomo.
It will be hosted by medical-supply heir Jon Stryker, who is probably the biggest donor to gay causes in the country; and Jonathan Lewis, son of Democratic megadonor Peter Lewis.
"Having delivered on marriage equality in New York is going to get Andrew a lot of gay love, not to mention gay money. There is no one more passionate, and effective," my source emails."
NOM is criticizing Andrew Cuomo for receiving $12,500 per person at a fund raiser, illustrating how "corrupt" he is for doing this. NOM doesn't really have a leg to stand on in this argument, as they spent well over 700,000 dollars to fight marriage equality. If that were not enough, they also refuse to obey campaign donor laws. It seems to me that NOM is perfectly fine with accusing others of being corrupt when it comes to money, and yet cry foul when courts order them to obey the law. The basic tenet of their argument is that donors will get harassed for donating to an anti-gay cause, which is funny because NOM encourages harassment of NY republicans who voted for SSM in June. If trying to cost someone his job for his belief doesn't qualify as harassment, I don't know what does.
