California's Prop. 8 and the local ties

According to ElectionTrack.com, two donors supporting Proposition 8 in California (which has banned same sex marriage in that state) are employed by law firms that also have offices in DC and also subscribe to the DWLR. These two donors are:

Michael Lee, attorney at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher in Sierra Madre, CA and donated $1,000

Nathan Jensen, attorney at Morrison & Foerster in San Diego, CA and donated $10,000

Both firms have very specific equal employment and diversity ideals and obviously, these donations were made by private individuals, not as representatives of their respective law firms.

From Gibson Dunn & Crutcher's website:

Diversity Mission Statement: Gibson Dunn believes that diversity is essential to our continued success as one of the leading law firms in the world. Our mission is to continue our active recruitment and retention of a workforce with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. By creating such an environment, we believe the Firm and our clients benefit from our collaborative and unique practice.
