This is the second high profile technology company that has come out against Proposition 8 in California. Apple Computer has also come out in opposition to the anti-gay rights proposal, designed to define marriage as between a man and a woman in the Californian Constitution.
Apple was the first technology company to provide the same benefits to same-sex couples as they do with straight couples. Apple will also be donating $100,000 dollars to the No on 8 campaign in California. More information can be found on Apple’s blog
My previous post about Google doing something similar is here. I hope more and more tech companies start coming out in opposition to this bill, getting them boycotted by fundamental christians. Not because I wish ill upon the technology companies, but rather because computers/technology are such an integral part of everyone’s life. The fundies won’t know what to do with themselves if they end up having to boycott most/all of the technology businesses.
