Google To Add Pay To Cover a Tax For Gays
GrApHiX42 writes "Starting on Thursday, Google is going to increase the salaries of gay and lesbian employees whose partners receive domestic partner health benefits, largely to compensate them for an extra tax they must pay that heterosexual married couples do not. Google is not the first company to make up for the extra tax. At least a few large employers already do. But benefits experts say Google's move could inspire its Silicon Valley competitors to follow suit, because they compete for the same talent."
Bromance, now pays better than expected.
Damn straight, because it's all about the heteros, because they're so discriminated against and are lacking in lots of rights...
"Do you know your Sons might be Lesbians?"
Sure, why not? We tax alcohol and tobacco too. Are you suggesting that this is a sin tax error?
When I beget my girlfriend, we couldn't get benefits - I had to go and marry her!
The other thing that sucks in this society, you can't beget girls like you could in the Bible - you know, girls who just had their first period - 13 year olds. That's prime childbearing age! What the heck!
Anyway, I don't know why Google just doesn't save money and stone the gays to death just like the Bible tells us to!

Just convince your employer that your girl is actually a dude. Photoshop could help out, but maybe it's not even needed.
Pretty good is actually pretty bad.
Yes - and they all caught Gomorrahrear.

But what about gay people who do register internet domains?
Or to be less flippant - where do you get the wierd idea that gay people can't have children?
If there were gays at Google, they would have a lot more beautiful site design.
Got a friend? Want more money?
If need be, you can use half the money to rent a friend.
After the expenses of Lady Gaga mp3s or Cher (for older partners) of course.
Gotta have the image.

Sure, that filthy hippy Jesus waffled some peacenik tree hugging propaganda...
Actually, Jesus was a tree killer, not a tree huger.
Matthew 21:18: Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately the tree withered.
Just sayin
Ask Slashdot: Where bad ideas meet poor googling skills.
Well that leaves them with discriminating against socially awkward people who can't find a partner of either sex. Fortunately Google employs a lot of developers who aren't noted for scoring high in that particular demographic. Oh, wait...
I am tired of people saying that gays do not have the same marriage rights as everyone else. I don't know if you have noticed, but every place that does not allow gay marriage also prohibits heterosexuals from marrying someone of the same sex as well.
The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. James Madison
The passages in liviticus are surprisingly clear for the bible. The Sodom and Gomorrah story doesn't necessarily have anything to do with homosexuality though. Trying to rape gods kid would surely qualify for extermination even if it weren't homosexual rape.
This was actually a fun conversation I had with the local jehova's witness lady who seemed to think an unmarried guy living with female roommates was somehow at high risk for "catching gay" along with other seemingly incompatible sins.
So how many of his women did he offer to you?
Thus proving that God hates figs.
Yes, this is the origin of the saying "God Hates Figs" The Westboro Baptist Church just got things messed up in their minds.
If by "extreme lack of hospitality" you mean "going round to someone's house and demanding to rape their guests", then I concede your point.
which is totally what she said
On a related line, someone recently told me Jack Tripper was not really gay. Is this true?!?
The peanut has its name for a reason, too. But it's still not a nut.
