Google Launches International Campaign For Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage

Apple and many other tech companies have offered benefits to same-sex couples (and sometimes made them a sticking point) for quite some time now, but Google is taking its position of inclusion for sexual minorities outside the company itself; the company has announced an international campaign to promote legal marriage equality for same-sex couples, called "Legalize Love." According to CNN's version of the story, while this represents Google's policies overall, the campaign will at first "focus on countries like Singapore, where certain homosexual activities are illegal, and Poland, which has no legal recognition of same-sex couples." dot429 quotes Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe of Google, speaking in London Saturday at a summit where the initiative was announced: "We want our employees who are gay or lesbian or transgender to have the same experience outside the office as they do in the office. It is obviously a very ambitious piece of work." Also at CNET.

Are you just damned insane?!
One woman is almost far too much. Two women is hell on earth. More?!

Even this gay marriage thing is just a trend like disco.
Director John Waters says of gay marriage; "Hey, I joined this club so I didn't have to deal with the marriage thing. I think gays have forgotten what it's all about".

I will end by saying marriage is an enterprise for straights to keep them together long enough to raise kids without killing each other or the kids.
What the hell is a gay gonna do with that? They can already adopt. They can have tax breaks and insurance just like married. Marriage is for a man and a woman.
Gays need to call it something else so they can have it and quit denying what others have is special.
Call it... well there's a lot of things you could call it good or bad, we'll let the ones falling out of the genetic line name it.

No. They have been peer-reviewed by very high standards of scientific research. Just because you don't like the results does not make them suspect. You only reveal YOUR bias.

oh I'm sure. Aren't they all. The 'scientists' who run studies like this are too often tainted with politics that taint results. I don't care what the studied issue is. Just because you like their results does not make them true either. Your emotional defense via ad hominem reveals your bias.

And your statements are based on nothing but your ignorant prejudices. Try some facts next time.

So you boil your assumptions down to argument from authorities with a vested interest in certain outcomes of its studies?
