Robert Rowling, the CEO of the parent company to Gold’s Gym, has donated more than $2 million to American Crossroads, Karl Rove’s organization that works to elect antigay politicians, according to website Change.org.  More from The Advocate:

Rowling is the head of TRT Holdings, which owns the chain of gyms, popular with LGBT people across the nation, and is one of several people who are helping to get Rove’s organization running.

Among the candidates supported by American Crossroads are Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, who received a 0% rating from the Human Rights Campaign and Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle, who endorsed a statement that said there was no evidence to suggest homosexuality was biological and that scientists who argue otherwise are flawed.

Change.org suggests signing a petition to encourage Gold’s Gym to stop supporting antigay politicians, which can be done by clicking here.
