Pete Wentz and Fall Out Boy members donate $50,000 to fight Prop. 8...
Nice to see another celebrity stepping up and contributing some money to the fight to defeat the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8. Pete Wentz and his Fall Out Boy band mates have donated $50,000 to No on 8 joining Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg as the biggest names in the entertainment world to give so far.
It is a head-scratcher why others - especially gay celebrities - have not given money.
The band said in a statement: "We believe government shouldn't legislate love. Vote no on Proposition 8,"
Last week, Wentz wrote on his blog: "There are a lot of causes out there -- a lot of 'good' fights to be fought. I think Proposition 8 is pretty lame -- as many others do too. It's (expletive) lame."
