Obama’s non-support for gay marriage loses donation from gay media owner, Paul Colichman
[After Clinton lost,] I thought, ‘Get over yourself!’ I had literally written out a check to the Obama campaign. And then I saw him in front of an evangelical group in Anaheim…. I thought, ‘Wow! He just threw the gay community under the bus,’ ” Colichman said. “My partner looked over at me, and we tore up the check.”
