(Reuters) - Foes
of same-sex marriage are laboring to pay the tab for an epic legal case
now before the U.S. Supreme Court, as the movement suffers from
fundraising shortfalls that could sap its strength in future battles.
ProtectMarriage.com, the
advocacy group defending a California gay marriage ban now under review
by the high court, showed a $2 million deficit in its legal fund at the
end of 2011 - the third year in a row that expenses exceeded donations,
federal tax records show.
