California’s Pacific Gas and Electric company donated $250,000 to defeat Proposition 8, a ballot measure which seeks to eliminate the right of gay couples to get married. PG&E serves more than 15 million Californians.

In a news conference held Tuesday, PG&E Senior Vice President of Public Affairs Nancy McFadden also announced the corporation would become a founding member of the Equality for All Business Council in support of the No On Prop 8 campaign and called on other businesses to follow their lead in supporting fairness, freedom, and equality for all Californians.

Here’s to corporations not being afraid to speak out against hate, despite the threats of boycotts and protests from anti-marriage equality groups.
