According to a news article posted by the Los Angeles Times, Dodgers second basemen Jeff Kent is apparently supporting the YES on PROP 8 campaign. PROP 8, if passed, would ban same-sex marriages that would impose a California constitutional amendment that would define marriage as being between one man and one woman:Jeff Kent, who played second base for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, has stepped into the emotional world of same-sex marriage, giving $15,000 to backers of the California proposition on Tuesday's ballot that would ban it.
In a disclosure filed with the California secretary of state, Kent listed his occupation as professional baseball player for the Dodgers and his address as Austin, Texas. He gave the $15,000 in a transaction dated Monday but which only now is public.

What exactly has he done wrong here? The ballot is Yes or No. What's the point of having one if everyone is to vote one way? It's called free speech and there are at least two sides to every argument.
Just pointing out the fact that he's donating his money to a cause. It's nice to see high profile people giving back to their communities and taking concern in their government's doings.
I don't believe this is a "free speech issue here", so I think you might be a bit off on questioning this story.
