Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos pledges $2.5 million to defend Washington’s gay-marriage law

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’$2.5 million pledge to defend Washington’s gay-marriage law marks by far his biggest entry into politics and thrusts him into the national debate over the rights of same-sex couples.

The donation,which Bezos made with his wife,MacKenzie,is likely the largest political contribution to a gay-marriage campaign in the country and dwarfs all of Bezos’previous political giving.
