Google Opposes Anti-Gay Marriage Ban

In a recent blog entry, Google co-founder Sergey Brin announced that the internet giant will be taking a stand against a proposed anti-gay marriage ban which will be appearing on the California ballot, Proposition 8. Mr. Brin didn’t elaborate on any actions they would be taking aside from making a public stand.

This comes on the tails of Levi Straus and PG&E announcing that they are co-founding the No On Prop 8 Equality Business Council. And in July, PG&E donated $250,000 to the campaign.

In a day when more and more of the citizens of this country feel like their voices are not being heard, it is refreshing to see that there is some level of social responsibility among large multinational corporations. Perhaps the little man is no longer able to be heard without the backing of companies that have billions at their disposable.
