Database News

No News This Month

It was a quiet month; we had lots of traffic on the site, received and replied to a lot of email, but nothing happened worth mentioning.

July Contribution to the Human Rights Campaign

In keeping with our pledge to donate advertising revenue earned on “Hate State” listing pages, we're pleased to announce that the Human Rights Campaign will receive a donation of $236.52 for earnings during the month of July. That brings the total to more than $4,600 since we began the program, in April, 2006.

What's a Hate State? There are 30 of them now: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin; the states that have homophobic so-called "Defense of Marriage" amendments to their state constitutions, passed by popular vote. For more information, see the HRC's Marriage and Relationship Recognition Web page.
