Proposition 8 changed the California state constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage, but as with all political donations, records are kept and publicly available. Normally, this would be a giant list of names, details and amounts.
But now, with the combined power of access to information and Google Maps - it can be easy to show the location of each and every nasty person who paid to push Prop 8 through.
Eight Maps does exactly that.
This is so wrong for so many reasons. I don't even know where to begin.
