The court battle over access to the records of who gave how much money to the Prop. 8 campaign against gay rights is over, and the principle of open government won.

Today, the Secretary of State's office released a list of 56,000 names of people who gave as much as $1.2 million to either support or oppose the proposition, which would strip gay couples of the right to marry in California.

There are a number of surprises in the list, not least of which is that the top 5 donations came from people who opposed the proposition. Read the full list here.

But there were other propositions on the ballot, all of which were funded by private individuals. For a list of who gave money to the other propositions on the November ballot, click here.
