The Arizona Daily Star reports that the backers of Proposition 102, the state's ballot initiative to ban same-sex marriage, have raised $3.34 million so far. The queers have raised $80,000.

So Arizona Together has turned to some, um, more creative campaigning:

    [State Rep. Kyrsten] Sinema said the ballot measure is a reflection of the Mormon church "working hard to convince the public that they are mainstream." She said her background, being raised Mormon in Tucson, gives her the credibility to make the charge.

    "I don't think Arizonans are interested in having the Mormon religion dictate public policy to them," Sinema said.
