Gay philanthropist Tim Gill's political action committee continues to pour money into the state domestic partnership initiative.
It donated $150,000 last month plus another $44,000 worth of employee time, the latest campaign finance reports show.
Since January, the Gill Action Fund has given more than $370,000 in cash and staff time to the issue committee for Coloradans for Fairness and Equality, the group sponsoring Referendum I and opposing Amendment 43, records show.
Referendum I would allow gay couples to register as domestic partners and obtain many legal rights and responsibilities given to married couples. Amendment 43 would define marriage in the state constitution as a union only between a man and a woman. Both measures go before voters Nov. 7.
