The negative publicity is having an effect on both companies and individuals. Scott Eckern, artistic director of the California Musical Theatre in Sacramento, whose $1,000 donation in support of Prop. 8 was listed on ElectionTrack, chose to resign from his post this week to protect the theater from public criticism.
Karger says a "soft boycott" his group had started against Bolthouse Farms — which gave $100,000 to Prop. 8 — was dropped after he reached a settlement with the company.
Bolthouse Farms was to give an equal amount of money to gay rights political causes. The amount ultimately equaled $110,000.
