Google Announces Global Campaign To Legalize Gay Marriage

Google has announced a global campaign in support of equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples.

The Internet giant announced its Legalize Love campaign at the Global LGBT Workplace Summit 2012, which took place in London.

The campaign launches Saturday, July 7 in Poland and Singapore. Organizers plan to expand the campaign to every country where Google has an office, focusing on countries where anti-gay sentiment runs high.

“We want our employees who are gay or lesbian or transgender to have the same experience outside the office as they do in the office,” Google's Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe is quoted by dot429.com as saying at the summit. “It is obviously a very ambitious piece of work.”

Maybe Google and Microsoft can have dueling campaigns for marriage equality supremacy?

I'd like to see Google & Microsoft have a war on contributing to LGBT rights. Both have been great so far, but I think Microsoft pulled out front this week.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
