Except for Firefox is in large part funded by Google. You can switch to IE. Oh wait, Microsoft is also for Gay marriage. I guess you can try finding an old copy of Netscape somewhere. It's almost fitting for a backwards view like that.

10% gay ? are you getting out of house ? not want to be mean but i know 1 gay man out of 200 .

OP : google will just get more publicity i dont think they step in becose they rly care about gay marriage imo .


Don't rely on your social circles to determine the amount of queer people seriously...

A better experiment would be to think about your high school class, but oh wait you have no idea how many people are gay from your high school class. See the problem?


my highschool class is around 2.5% gay i would say. of course it's not concrete but i'm quite aware of my surroundings.


They probably aren't open.

There have been many anonymous surveys done, with all of them pointing to around 7-10% of males being homosexual, and 4-5% of females.

maybe in US . in europe everyone knows if your class mate is gay or not . and i only met 1 gay swapping 4 high schools in 2 diferent countrys . gays arent afraid of bully in eu .


Its not about bullying...
And your anecdote basically makes my point, do you realize how little chance there is that 4 different high schools have only one gay person between them all? It would be a pretty amazing coincidence.

Those figures make sense considering it is becoming a fairly accepted fact that there are more full on gay men than there are full on gay women, of course that could be do to society's different treatment or inherent differences between female and male sexualities.

I don't have any problem with Google fighting for a equal work place at their company but i don't feel like they have any business promoting social/political issues either way, because they and their search should be neutral.

That's the same thing they said about negros. Supporting slaves, and giving them rights is stupid, right? They have no need to be like us, haha. What's next? Animals get their freedom to live freely aswell? Haha, this is a slippery slope.

Slavery isn't a pathology though. So your point is irrelevant.


I'm sorry to say that but you are really disgusting.

Before you judge sth, keep in mind that the less you know about sth, the more that what you think or pretend to know about it, it says about yourself and your environment.

It's a good way to get the LGBT community to use your product. Google will also be all over the news for a while so free advertising just for supporting what's right!

This is actually not that uncommon. This happens throughout history. There were companies that favored desegregation back in those days. In fact, desegregated movie theaters (back in the 30s) earned some huge profits when it was very controversial.

Could I ask why its an issue for companies to take a stance on something equality based?

I fully support gay and lesbian marriage, but I've got mixed feelings towards Google. Part of me thinks this is just a stunt on their part, but if it's not then I give them my applause

Why? Do LGBT people not need help? They are discriminated against all over the world. Google wants to change that for the better.

So much ignorance in this thread. This is like taking a time machine back to the 1950s and racism is not only everywhere, but widely accepted as a logical way to view the world.


How did we get on the race topic now?


Racial discrimination is just another way of discrimination, what has always been the topic.


A bit far fetched imo.


Nope. It really isn't. In other parts of the world it is much worse, and the similarities (to the dark parts of history) much more easy to see. It is discrimination (by the current law) to entitle a group of people to less civil rights than another.


But its something diffrent to get discriminated for having certain genes, than for example wearing funny cloth or what ever. You basically say its the same because its both discrimination. I think its a dagerous relativization.


Nobody can choose if he/she is white or black, just as little someone can choose if he/she is homo or hetero. Why dont you read a little bit in knowledgable and reliable sources about a topic before you come to such biased world views?

Social issues affect companies. People want to work in a state where they can get married. Many companies care about the well-being and happiness of their employees, which means getting involved is inevitable in this sort of thing.
