Leaders of a gay and lesbian political organization in the Coachella Valley are calling for a boycott of four auto dealerships whose part-owner in Utah donated $100,000 to support the Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage, spokesmen said today.

"You can't take gay dollars and spend them against us,'' said Roger Tansey, vice-chair of the Desert Stonewall Democrats. "Not without retribution.''

Leaders of the group voted 11-2 Saturday to go forward with the boycott, which targets Toyota of the Desert, Honda of the Desert and Acura of the Desert in Cathedral City, as well as Ken Garff Cadillac-Chevrolet in La Quinta, said Tansey.

The dealerships are all owned by Katherine Garff and the Garff family, Desert Stonewall Democrats said. In October 2008, Ms. Garff donated $100,000 in support of Prop 8, the group contends.
