Joining a host of other celebrities determined to strike down Prop 8, Grey Anatomy‘s T. R. Knight has donated $50,000 to the campaign to keep marriage for everyone in California.
His donation comes after polling anxiety caused Equality California to call an emergency meeting. The hefty donation is also in response to Ohio entrepreneur Jonathan Lewis’ challenge to LA’s entertainment industry to raise $500,000 for No On Prop. 8. He and his family will match every donation henceforth, dollar for dollar.
And LA has responded with gusto, with Fall Out Boy chipping in $50,000, Angels in America writer Tony Kushner throwing down $15,000, and E! talk-show host Chelsea Handler adding $5,000.
It’s a good show but there’s still a little ways to go and the election is coming up fast!
The California deadline to register to vote is OCTOBER 20TH, so get a move on!!!
Look, we’ll make it easy for you: Declare Yourself.
Now you have no excuse!
Hopefully other celebs will follow T.R.’s example!
