Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State

New submitter plsenjy writes "An article in the Atlantic outlines how Microsoft Corp. has submitted its support for a Washington State provision allowing gay couples to marry. Citing the company's inability to compete for top talent in the face of discrimination, Microsoft joins other firms such as Nike and Vulcan to effectively change moral policy from the top-down."

Yea, now go shuffle off to the next Ron Paul/Klan rally. Marriage isn't just a religious institution, the secular government has some interest in perpetuating itself. Marriage is about that ya see. While it is possible for a married couple to be childless that is a corner case, especially prior to the modern era. A society does need some rules governing marriage. While I'll admit the government probably does too much there, like just about everything else, saying they should be totally hands off is daft.
