GAY MARRIAGE SUPPORTERS TARGET CINEMARK THEATERS

GAY MARRIAGE SUPPORTERS TARGET CINEMARK THEATERS

Opponents of California's gay marriage ban, which received 52 percent of the vote in the November 4 election, are urging people planning to see the upcoming Milk , about gay legislator Harvey Milk, to do so at any theater except those operated by Cinemark. They object to the fact that the CEO of Cinemark, Alan Stock, donated $9,999 to the Yes on 8 campaign. A notice on the website, www.nomilkforcinemark, says in part, "If 1,000 of us commit to see MILK at a competitor's theater instead of Cinemark, at an average cost of $10 per ticket, that's $10,000 of lost revenue."
