Comments on: Google Opposes Anti-Gay Marriage Ban

In An Unusual Move For Tech Firm, Founder Says " Discriminatory Effect" On Employees Led To Statement

As this country turns a way from God it continues its spiral down the tubes or has anyone noticed. We want to ban the cropping of dog''s ears yet women are falling all over themselves getting implants. People are being ridiculed for the obvious. Are we the new Romans?

Shame on Google. God''''s word clearly tells us that homosexuality is wrong. Deny it at your own risk!

Yeah and the TEN Commandmants are NOT multiple choice. You must lead a perfect life...

matter77: I totally missed that. How funny!

mensarino: You and I are both in error; private conversations are not allowed on this board.

matter77-----You simply must enroll in a logic class----now!

sierrahiker, not only that, but why am I limited to a 2-entity marriage? Shouldn''t my wife and I be allowed to marry another couple, in addition to our dog? After all, it is my fundamental right to do so. My adult daughter wants to join our marriage, too. I dunno, incest is illegal... WAIT! As consenting adults, my daughter and I should be able to procreate if we want! That''s our fundamental right!

And on, and on, and on...

Thank you Sergey Brin and Google for being the voice of reason in a world of religious intolerance. It''s encouraging to see support like this from such a well known company.

Google Opposes Anti-Gay Marriage Ban, so...Google is opposed to Gay-Marriage? They''re against a double-negative - Google is opposed to the ban, so they must be Anti-Gay. That''s what this says.

"We should not eliminate anyone''s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love," he said.

When did marriage become a fundamental right, or be "expanded" to include same-*** couples? Just recently, as far as I can tell, and only because somehow the activists are insisting it''s a fundamental right.

But I think his use of the word "person" is discriminatory. Why should it have to be a person? Isn''t that just a moral judgment? Probably religiously inspired. People should be able to marry whoever or whatever they want, even perhaps themselves, and have full rights so that no one can even cast them a sidewise glance when they, say, are getting intimate with their chicken in a public park.

And why can''t we run around the streets without clothes, isn''t that a religious law? Or relieve ourselves in the middle of a crowd, yet another infringement of religion on our fundamental rights. Hey, let''s just turn the whole country into Burning Man, with all those cool people, like the old potbellies with the shirts and no pants, wouldn''t that be nice? They probably work at Google anyway.

What a brave stand! In a world that''s full of pain, why would it be wrong to marry the person you love?

StopSocialis - If God is perfect, explain why He didn''t create Adam and Eve at exactly the same time. Why did it take a lonely (and probably randy) Adam to prompt God to remedy this original oversight?

Gee if google doesn''''t like it I guess I don''''t either. How stupid, who cares what google thinks, and also what any actor/actress thinks (most of them have almost passed high school and therefore MUST be taken seriously).

What this will come down to is what CALIFORNIANS want. If most of them vote for it it is law, if not it isn''''t.

What is most funny about all of this, is that if it is voted in then it is unamerican/yada yada yada. But if it does not pass then it is all OK. The athiest left needs to get a life and stop shoving their agenda down our throats (tehe).

Where oh where to begin...
Actors and actresses...I guess you didn''t care what Ronald Reagan had to say...he was after all just an actor...
Ben Stein...another actor...
Fred Thompson...actor...
Entertainers in general..
Mick Jagger...Masters of Economics, College of London
Tommy Lee Jones...Harvard Graduate
Kris Kristofferson...Rhodes Scholar, Oxford University

There are plenty of knowledgeable people in that industry on *both* sides of the fence.

As a corporate citizen, Google''s viewpoints are no less important (or more) than any other citizen. However, should Google (and possibly others) decide Ca. is not hospitable and moves out of state, there could be significant economic impact.

I''ll leave the unamerican vs ok remark for now....

Marriage is not a "Right", it`s a privilege, given by God almighty, between man and woman.

God created Adam and Eve for each other, not Adam and Steve

You have every right to your religious beliefs. And you don''t have to like same-$ex marriage. If you don`t believe in it, then don`t marry someone of your gender. You also have the right to express your opinion and religious beliefs as you have done here.

However - our beloved country is not a theocracy. You do not have the right to impose your religious beliefs on others via legislation. At least not in the America I remember.

[sierrahiker-2009]

Where do these "rights" come from anyway? Do you get a package of them when you''re born? I don''t remember getting any rights beyond what''s outlined in the constitution. Since the government defines what "rights" we have and also the rules for marriage, where did we get these rights beyond what the law defines as marriage, that people seem to insist we have? If gov''t defined it as between a male and female human, then that''s what it is. Don''t buy that? Then ignore it. Why do you need the government''s blessing to do what you think is right? Conversely, quit trying to tell others that they have to accept your version of what is "right". Marry whom you choose, and if the gov''t won''t do it, have a friend do it...it''s only a piece of paper that apparently means less and less as time goes on. Why do you insist that I have to agree with you? If someone wants to marry his/her boyfriend, girlfriend, or cow, I don''t care, but I reserve the right to think of them what I think of them. Quit inventing rights that don''t exist.

Too bad someone isn''t listening in Arizona. After voters rejected an attempt to redefine marrage four years ago, 49 law makers pushed for the same question to appear on the ballot again. Hopefully someone in Arizona will have guts enough to stand up and vote as many of the 49 out of office as possible.
