Homo Microsoft Endorses Marriage Equality
Posted by Dominic Holden on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 12:04 PM
In a letter sent to to Governor Chris Gregoire today, Microsoft, Nike, Vulcan, Group Health, Concur, and RealNetworks announced they would "show the support of our respective companies for... recognizing marriage equality for same-sex couples."
Right freakin' on.
PS — We've given plenty of hell to these companies—particularly for their revenue-slashing efforts that cripple state financing for education—but they're on the right side of this issue. Much thanks to Steve Ballmer and Paul Allen. Hell, I may even use Bing.

Dominic: Bing really is pretty good, give it a try. It's a sad truth, but I now trust Microsoft to respect privacy more than I do Google.

I guess when he's about to resign, Ballmer does the right thing after all. Kind of like Chris did.
