Facebook has been spotted making another controversial campaign contribution.

According to disclosures filed with the Utah Lieutenant Governor’s office, Facebook donated $10,000 to the campaign of the state’s attorney general, who is fighting to uphold Utah’s gay marriage ban.

Last Tuesday, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes filed an appeal against a lower court’s ruling striking down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. “We recognize this litigation has caused uncertainty and disruption and have accordingly tried to expedite its resolution as quickly as possible,” he said in a statement at the time.

Facebook, which made the donation in May, told Q SaltLake, which broke the story, that the company “has a strong record on LGBT issues and that will not change, but we make decisions about which candidates to support based on the entire portfolio of issues important to our business, not just one.

“A contribution to a candidate does not mean that we agree with every policy or position that candidate takes. We made this donation for the same reason we’ve donated to Attorneys General on the opposite side of this issue – because they are committed to fostering innovation and an open Internet.”

It is true, as CBS5 pointed out Sunday, in picking up the story, that Facebook “signed onto an amicus brief last March supporting proponents of marriage equality in Utah who challenged the state ban.”

The station also noted that Facebook has contributed to firm believers in marriage equality, like California Attorney General Kamala Harris and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D), who last week also filed an appeal to uphold that state’s marriage ban.

“I believe the district and appeals courts ruled correctly in striking down Virginia’s discriminatory marriage ban, but it has long been clear that the Supreme Court will likely have the final word,” Herring said, explaining his involvement.

Q SaltLake asked Facebook what issues Reyes supported that are important to Facebook. “He’s worked on Internet safety and patent reform,” a Facebook spokesperson responded.

Last year, as part of its push for immigration reform, Facebook got into trouble for contributing to GOP and Democratic lawmakers whose support for immigration reform was lukewarm at best, while being decidedly opposed to other issues favored by Silicon Valley — like climate change and clean energy legislation.
