Owner of Gold's Gym Criticized for Donating Millions to Anti-Gay Political Group

Gay groups have publicized a petition demanding answers from Gold's Gym about the $2 million donated by its owner -- Robert Rowling -- to American Crossroads, Salon reports. American Crossroads, says Salon, is spending millions to elect GOP candidates who are anti-gay  -- like Roy Blunt, who wants to rewrite the U.S. Constitution to ban gay marriage.

Gold's Gyms are located all across the country. Pictured above is the gym on Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn, one of two Gold's Gyms in Brooklyn.

The online petition has gained about 3,000 signatures

The petition says that Gold's "markets and caters to LGBT customers," but unfortunately, "the candidates that Rowling's money is being used to elect are some of the most vehemently anti-gay politicians in the country."
