Google says “no” to California’s proposed gay marriage ban
While there are many objections to this proposition—further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text—it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8.
What a huge sign of respect for Google’s gay employees. I’d like to see more progressively-minded California companies make their position on Proposition 8 public. I’ve donated to No on 8—if equal rights for gays and lesbians is important to you, and you’ve got the cash to spare, you should consider doing so too.
