He does a very decent job of telling the story of a manager of a once popular eatery, "El Coyote", who was outed for donating $100 to the Yes on 8 campaign.
He explains that there are two gay managers of the diner, and how much pain the boycott of the place has produced.
He examines the rights of donating and of boycotting.
One thing I don't get is a feeling from Lopez that what the pro 8 people were doing was trying to deny the fundamental rights that accrue to married couples.

I read somewhere that married people receive 1400 specific rights that are withheld from cohabitating same sex couples.
And yes, via a google search, I have found a page on that "Legal and economic benefits of marriage"
Domestic partnerships can help bring committed couples some though not usually all the state rights of marriage, but without the marriage label most do not hope to gain the 1000 federal rights denied the unmarried even if a same sex couple is willing to fulfill all the steps that would be needed to be deemed fully committed a 'married' duo. And, in fact, now many groups are trying to deny domestic partners the right to adopt children.
Still, though Lopez desire to sway opinion is pretty transparent, I hope it works. Really, a $100 dollar donation really isn't enough to boycott over.
