Queers are calling for a boycott of the California Musical Theatre -- at least according to the -- after discovering that its artistic director, Scott Eckern, donated $1,000 to Prop. 8. Eckern has been with CMT for over 25 years. Richard Lewis, the organization's executive producer, released this statement regarding the controversy: "Any political action or the opinion of Scott Eckern is not shared by California Musical Theatre. We have a long history of appreciation for the LGBT community and are truly grateful for their longstanding support."

The California Musical Theatre, Sacramento's oldest theate group, recently produced a production of "Forever Plaid". If don't plan on boycotting the theater because of Eckern's discrimination donation against people in his own office, then do so because "Forever Plaid" is just an awful musical.

Update: Eckern has resigned.
