Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America’s largest gay and lesbian organisation, has
raised “more than $500,000 in a few days” with an e-mail appeal.
The income figure
was reported by Nick Allen of American online fundraising and marketing company 
Donordigital.com in its latest e-mail newsletter. The appeal was launched in response
to President Bush’s announcement of his support for the Constitutional amendment
to outlaw gay marriage.

The e-mail appeal was part of the HRC’s MillionForMarriage.org campaign, which has
gathering more than 400,000 signatures since its launch in August 2003.
