Major Prop H8te Supporter Divorcing Wife of 40+ Years

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Business Blitz

wenn-pprops8.jpg

Guess heterosexual marriage ain't all it's cracked up to be, huh Doug Manchester?

Dougie is a hotelier & developer in San Diego and a major supporter of Prop 8, which outlawed same-sex marriage in California and stripped gays and lesbians of their rights to full equality under the law. His donation of $125,000 helped ensure that discrimination was written into our state's constitution.

Now, we bet he wishes he saved that money for a decent divorce attorney!

His wife, Elizabeth Manchester, is passionately after his money, denying Doug's request for a speedy divorce and seeing how much she can drain out of him! After 43 years, eight months and nine days of marriage, she's most certainly due!

In what will be coming to close to a year-long divorce proceeding, Elizabeth has filed several complaints and bad dealings on Doug's part, including withholding tax refunds made out to the both of them, disregarding bill payments to make her look bad, and pilfering money out of their joint accounts into individual ones she does not have access to.

Shady McFuckerstein!

Gee, for a guy who is so devoted to his Christian faith, he sure as no regard for those set of rules God told him to follow.

The couple are meant to reconvene in court to hash it out some more on Sept. 17, 2009. Part of us wants her to take him for all he's got. The other part wants him to keep it, so the next time he throws money at Prop 8 and it gets repealed, the victory will taste that much sweeter.

  5. 5

    Shut up you fat fuck.



  6. 6

    so what? how does this help your cause? stop being as equal a hater.

  7. epic says – reply to this

    wait a second.. anyone wants to get divorced - either her or him - so it's HIS fault? and HE'S not acting christian?
    but very clever to make this "news" to a weapon for your shady campaign.



  8. 8

    I did not know that victory tasted like cock…I will remember that the next time I have one in my mouth.



  9. 9

    If someone doesn't share your viewpoint you are out for blood. What a hate monger. NOT attractive.



  10. 10

    Fuckers!
    San Diego county is full of conservatives!
    UCSD is fucked up too!
    .
    EQUALITY FOR ALL!



  11. 11

    Go Elizabeth!!! Rip him to shreds!!



  12. 12

    Add to the list of place to STAY AWAY FROM in San Diego: Grand Del Mar Resort and the Manchester Hyatt.



  13. 13

    go go gays!



  14. 14

    It's been rumored around here (San Diego) that the Mrs. Elizabeth Manchester spends money like most people use TP and her husbands attempts to get her crazy spending under control (putting money where she couldn't get it) pissed her off so she filed for divorce.



  15. 15

    yes the religious nuts and the mormons and neocons are responsible for prop 8 passing, BUT the opposition was NOT organised. You CANNOT ride on the fact that "california is liberal. we'll defeat it." in this case the team which went the distance won. If you don't like it, be better prepared and go for broke next time.



  16. 16

    i LOVE when religious idiots like him (and mel gibson) make HUGE mistakes like this hahah



  17. 17

    marriage
    iz

    zuckerzzz
    heheheheeeeeee
    wooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



  18. 18

    pro prop 8 folks should picket outside the court on the next
    hearing date.



  19. 19

    why hypocrites never win.
    didn't somebody say something about "taking the plank out of your own eye before trying to remove the speck out of your brothers'"?



  20. 20

    You talking s h i t about him does what for your cause? Not a damn thing….Now I definitely believe it you are such a heterophobe/hater.



  21. 21

    oh shut the fuck up people get divorced every day WHO FUCKING CARES-
    i dont. . .



  22. 22

    Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – …just wanted to say the comments that you left about marriage back a few where so true, I couldn't not agree more.



  23. 23

    Oh, boy!



  24. 24

    Guess it's time for me and my friends to save our pennies so we can donate and vote against you too Perez.



  25. 25

    oops *were* [sic]



  26. 26

    wow, seriously? this is practically fucking slander… voting for prop 8 isn't illegal and this isn't somebody (unlike a real celebrity) who lives his life in the public eye, so the fact that you're putting this up on your millions-of-readers website is complete and utter bullshit. god, never did i think i would be complled to DISLIKE gay people but you really do the trick, perez… you're the embarrassment of the gay community!!!



  27. 27

    Re: epic – Very Christian of him to drain their shared accounts, wasn't it? Appropriately Catholic of him to push very hard for a speedy divorce agreement after he moved out, wouldn't you agree?
    =
    Just another example of morally bankrupt conservatives doing what they do best, nothing good.

  30. 30

    Re: TooAnnoyedTooCare – Does more good than you can comprehend to highlight the hypocrisy of religious conservatives, I say.



  31. 31

    Gee…how ironic. A guy that hopes to deny others the right to marry is now getting divorced.



  32. 32

    Yet ANOTHER example of a "Christian" conservative hypocrite.



  33. 33

    The religious right isn't.



  34. 34

    Re: kmfayfdb – "never did i think i would be compelled to DISLIKE gay people", you say. But WE all saw it coming from a million miles away, sweetie! Muah! happy hating!



  35. 35

    Re: skeezer – Thanks hun.. I really really really appreciate the support.. You get to arguing with ppl, and it brings you down alot.. I feel like ppl are against me alot of the time.. but I'd sooner be one woman standing up for what I believe in, then one of the million supporting something that I think is wrong.. God bless..



  36. 36

    Thank you Perez for pointing out this blatant hypocrisy.



  37. 37

    I'm confused… aren't the vows of marriage "sacred?" What would the bible say?

  38. Laury says – reply to this


    38

    And this helps your cause….how??? Stop being such a hate monger, Perez. I'm pretty sure gay marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be either.



  39. 39

    Re: PalmSprings – Divorce is a sin.. that's what it says.. And it's true.. It's sickening how many ppl are divorced these dayz..



  40. 40

    And how is this relevant….people divorce all the time including some of those few legal gay marriages….either way sheep are sheep just what religious/spiritual/political leaders want their flocks to be.

  41. epic says – reply to this


    41

    Re: b a t k i s s – sorry, but this "article" says nothing about the exact circumstances, so i think this should better be not used as an argument. otherwise we can focus a little on martina navratilova and her exes - would that be better?



  42. 42

    And the two lesbians who forced homosexual marriage on the state of MA are now divorced - don't see you posting anything about that.

    Are you REALLY pissed that Maine is set to abolish gay marriage in November too? They only handed in DOUBLE the needed signatures to get it up for vote…and you…and those freedom hating homosexuals like yourself will get to see…yet again….Americans REJECT GAY MARRIAGE.

    So Perez, how ya feel about the “Repeal on Prop 8” quitting their efforts to get on the ballot for November - could it be…we already voted and abolished gay marriage? GET OVER IT. Civil unions and not a fucking thing else!



  43. 43

    Re: poodlescoot – If you read something other than a liberal website you'd know it was 77% of African American voters who voted down gay marriage in CA - and thanks to my African Amercian brothers and sista's who did that…thank you VERY VERY MUCH….



  44. 44

    Hahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahah…IRONY!!! I LOVE IT!!! thanks for posting this you sexy beast. LMFAO!!! I hope his wife takes this phony christian to the cleaners…and cleans his clock. douche bag!!



  45. 45

    Perez, you just sound like a bitter, childish little bitch.

    Tit for Tat???

    Grow the fuck up. Can't you see how much damage to you do Gay rights with these childish blogs???

    Re: JulesinSD B.O.~He Stink's - #42 & 43

    no one gives a fuck if these assholes want to divorce…good for them, let them divorce. it's NOT about the divorce you dimwit. it's about the fact that these c*cksuckers use "the sanctity of marriage" as a reason to deny homosexual American's THEIR god given rights…yet when it comes to the "sanctity" of their own marriages they're all f*cking hookers, interns, little boys and basically anyone but their own wives/husbands…and then they get divorces…wtf happened to "the sanctity of marriage"?? also…as for your black "brothas and sistas" voting against gay marriage…umm here is a thought…how about the black community concentrate on their own teenage pregnancies, increasing STD's in the community (specially black women), and all their women being reduced to "baby mommas" instead of worrying about what gay americans do in their own bedrooms??? there is a thought, no? no offense but the black community is THE LAST community to know anything about marriage. sorry…check the statistics and you'll see I'm right.

    Re: Puffin – oh my god, SHUT THE FUCK UP. could you be any more annoying!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

    RE: JulesinSD B.O.~He Stink's yes dear…YOU thinking you're Sigmund Freud and ATTEMPTING to do a psych analysis on my was very funny…stick to your day job…mmmkay?!

    night night



  55. 55

    Wow, you are BITTER.



  56. 56

    Hopefully his wife will leave him destitute. Dear Doug, payback's a bitch you Jesus loving asshole.



  57. 57

    40 years is good run. Gays get divorced too…didn't the first lesbians to get married file for divorce?



  58. 58

    I totally don't agree with his donation to Prop 8 and myself voted against it donated money to the opposition and wrote all of my representatives in protest of it and of the process itself. But knowing the Doug personally I know he isn't a hater.
    Everyone should know there are two sides to every story. She comes from money herself and isn't a stupid women.
    Prop 8 won't get repealed in 2010, it is better to wait for 2012 when more people will go to the polls than in 2010 b/c it is a presidential election. We also need to start working on our federal reps. I do taxes for gay couples and I find it crazy they not only have to file 3 tax returns (if they are married in CA) which means accountants can charge them more. That is just the beginning of the injustice they face.
    I think it is absurd that a simple majority can vote to take away a right from people but it takes a 2/3 majority in the state legislature to pass a budget and a 2/3 majority to impose a new tax (at least in San Diego).

    Re: Puffin – poor, poor baby



  60. 60

    ahahaha hypocritical cockhead, i hope she reams him.



  61. 61

    Thsi satanic hatemongering republican gay basher cheated on his wife with a young whore,this is your great defender of marriage,an immoral bigoted evil man who now is treating his wife like a piece of shit,this is the kind of garbage behind prop 8. Self rightetous bigots who don't like gay people period and pretend they are the great defenders of marriage and religon, such bullshit from the rightwing fundie fascists, Karma will visit all these evil assholes,his donation has already caused his business 7 million dollars in business losss and I hope his wife takes this lowlife demon to the cleaners.



  62. 62

    Re: epic – stfu you bigoted homophobic trash, may your whole family die of slow festrering cancers you evil rightwing republican trailer-park southern trash.

  63. X's says – reply to this


    63

    Perezh-doubt you read these, but just incase…im a hardcore non-denominational evangelical Christian who believes in a God who created all his children equally! I'm all about equal rights, the worst thing that ever happened to our faith was the church which has done nothing but keep people from Jesus with their hypocrisy and hate…WWJD!!! So frustrating…I'm surprised he doesnt have a 17 year old gay lover.



  64. 64

    Personally, I could give a flying fuck if gays can or cannot get married but it seems to me the People of California have decided I was wondering why we are still talking about this. GIVE IT UP THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!



  65. 65

    Re: Dumpster baby – please tell me that trash like you pretends to be this ignorant,tell me it's all an act you fucking pice of garbage. Civil rights are not something you vote on today and forget tommorow the vote was 52-48 so it was close and people won't stop fighting until everyone has equal rights,so the fact that " people have spoken" makes you sound ignorant and someone who was raised by garbage which I'm sure you were.



  66. 66

    It's spelt "devout" fuck knuckle.



  67. 67

    So he's getting a divorce because his wife is a shady person and "draining him"…
    Is he suppose to live in misery because you ( or anyone) don't agree with him
    getting a divorce? If he is pro heterosexual divorce, and anti-gay marriage - who cares? It's his life/opinion. And he has a right to it, just like you demonstrate you right to your opinion everyday on your blog.
    (I'm pro gay marriage btw. just trying to make a point)
    If I recall, you are one to talk about hypocrisy… what did you call the BEP's manager again? ( among other examples)
    Instead of posting/spreading negative energy, why don't you use your time and energy in making positive steps toward getting pro-gay marriage realized?



  68. 68

    Re: knowitall – First of all knowitall, you don't know me so lets cut theBULLSHIT, of our two posts you were the dont who sounds ignorant. All I did was repeat facts but you went STRAIGHT to fascism. You sound just like the people your screaming about. If you cant learn to discuss things civilly you will never achieve any of the things your fighting to get



  69. 69

    Re: epic – The source article details his alleged UN-Christian, UN-Catholic ways and are the fodder of gossip and the evidence of his hypocrisy. Not a surprise to surmise your conservative point-of-view does not take into account all information available to you either.
    =
    Give Ms Navratilova the same rights regarding marriage as this jackass and then hold her fully accountable to the corresponding responsibilities. The existing inequality negates a functional comparison till then….but nice try.

    Have long admired your Village People look, by they way ….Y M C A!

    Re: kmfayfdb
    it actually isn't slander. a public official is considered a "celebrity" ie somebody who puts themselves into the public eye. also, to be considered slander perez would have to know that what he waqs saying was wrong and/or to ruin a person's career or good name. coming from perez i would assume he really does believe in his retarded opinions that just show how horrible of a person he is and how long he will burn in hell.



  72. 72

    Perez the hater homo, spreading hate with the best of them but can't take it when a dumb blonde fucks him in the ass with a single comment
