SAN DIEGO – The wife of San Diego developer Doug Manchester, who helped finance the 2008 fight against same-sex marriage in California, has filed for divorce after 43 years of marriage.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Last year, Doug Manchester jumped into the middle of California’s same-sex marriage debate by donating $125,000 to support Proposition 8, the successful November ballot initiative that canceled the rights of gays to marry.
Gay-rights groups organized a boycott of Manchester properties. Manchester, a Catholic, later offered $125,000 in cash and hotel credit to same-sex rights groups, saying he’s against gay marriage, not gays and lesbians. The boycott continues.
