Adding their names to the list of generous stars like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Steven Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw have also given $100,000 to fight California's Proposition 8, the Nov. 8 ballot iniative trying to banning gay marriages in the state.
''By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation,'' says a statement from Steven and Kate. ''Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other.''
