That contribution amounted to one-third of Stand for Marriage Maine&#8217;s donations, but NOM refused to make its donors public.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In May 2014, the Maine Ethics Commission ruled that NOM had <a href=\"http:\/\/bangordailynews.com\/2014\/05\/28\/politics\/ethics-commission-considers-50000-fine-for-anti-gay-marriage-group-for-not-disclosing-donors-in-09-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\">violated campaign finance law<\/a>&nbsp;and ordered the conservative group to pay a $50,250 penalty and release its donors. Although NOM paid the penalty, it continued to resist disclosure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The organization, however, officially lost that fight on Aug. 4, when the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ordered it to <a href=\"http:\/\/bangordailynews.com\/2015\/08\/04\/politics\/maines-top-court-rules-national-same-sex-marriage-foe-must-reveal-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\">hand over its donors<\/a>, resulting in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pressherald.com\/2015\/08\/24\/national-organization-for-marriage-reveals-donors-from-2009-bid-to-overturn-maines-marriage-law\/document\/2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Monday&#8217;s filing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As the Portland Press Herald notes, of the seven donors who gave&nbsp;more than $100 to NOM, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pressherald.com\/2015\/08\/24\/national-organization-for-marriage-reveals-donors-from-2009-bid-to-overturn-maines-marriage-law\/\" target=\"_blank\">only one was actually from the state of Maine<\/a>: Richard Kurtz, who, along with his wife, has also donated to Gov. Paul LePage (R) and the Maine Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>NOM&#8217;s biggest donor was Sean Fieler, a New York hedge fund executive who gave $1.25 million. Fieler has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/06\/05\/sean-fieler-gay-marriage_n_7511614.html\" target=\"_blank\">spent more than $4.6 million<\/a>&nbsp;on state and federal political campaigns and super PACs since 2010, and millions more on anti-marriage equality groups. He and his wife have also started funding anti-transgender rights efforts across the country.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Opponents of Maine&#8217;s marriage equality law launched their campaign to stop it the day after the governor signed it. The ballot measure ended up passing, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2009\/POLITICS\/11\/04\/maine.same.sex\/\" target=\"_blank\">53 to 47 percent<\/a>, and the law never went into effect.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In June, the Supreme Court ruled that state bans on marriage equality are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/06\/26\/supreme-court-marriage-equality_n_7673304.html\" target=\"_blank\">unconstitutional<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div data-type=\"embed-asset\" data-provider=\"Embed\" data-title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div><em><strong>Want more updates from Amanda?
