Google Takes Official Stand Against Prop 8
An article appearing in the San Francisco Bay Times quoted Google co-founder, Sergey Brin.
“It is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8,” said co-founder Sergey Brin. “While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 — we should not eliminate anyone’s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.”
Brin said Google does “not generally take a position on issues outside of our field,” but that this was a special case because of Prop 8’s direct effect on so many Google employees.
