"Eldridge confirmed in an email to The Advocate that he and Hughes will match up up to $100K for Freedom to Marry, $50K for ESPA, $50K for GLAD, and $25K for Equality Maryland.

“'Sean and Chris have taken bold action to help Freedom to Marry win,' founder Evan Wolfson wrote in an e-mail. 'Today — I'm asking you to do the same. Can you donate $25 to win? For every donation made it will be matched, dollar for dollar.'"  [go to http://freedomtomarry.org/DoubleYourImpact to have your donation to Freedom to Marry doubled!]
