Jon Stryker of Kalamazoo, Mich., gave the money to Freedom to Marry Minnesota's political action committee on Tuesday, according to state campaign finance records. 

The contribution comes a day after the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign pledged to sink $1 million into four states where voters will consider same-sex marriage ballot measures. The group is donating $250,000 to Minnesota opponents of the same-sex marriage ban. 

Freedom to Marry is a coalition partner of Minnesotans United for All Families, the main organization working to defeat the constitutional same-sex marriage prohibition.
