Bill and Melinda Gates are giving $500,000 to the Referendum 74 campaign, boosting a war chest that totaled more than $10.8 million, according to reports filed with Washington United for Marriage as of Tuesday morning.
The Gates household had already donated $100,000 to the same-sex marriage cause, and Bill Gates recently put $2 million into the campaign for Initiative 1240, which would allow establishment of charter schools in Washington.
Referendum 74 asks voters to either approve or reject the state’s gay marriage law.
