SAN FRANCISCO - Donors spent more than $83 million to support or oppose the ballot initiative that abolished same-sex marriage in California, according to campaign filings released Monday.
The new filings cover the weeks immediately before and after the Nov. 4 election. They show that elected officials, businesses, churches and individuals poured more than $28 million into the campaigns during the contest's closing days.
The final tallies show that opponents of Proposition 8 raised $43.3 million in 2008 and had a little more than $730,000 left on hand at year's end. The measure's sponsors raised $39.9 million and had $983,000 left over.

It worked, so apparently it was money well-spent.

Gays want to do the nasty, fine. You don't need to ruin the concept of marriage for that.
While there seem to be a number of outspoken folks for gay marriage, there are a lot against it.
Gay marriage?
For what?

To legitimize an aberrant behavior.
That's it.
So think about it, 83 million dollars to stop two consenting adults who love each other from getting married.
