It would seem to fit their historic approach. Will we soon see ChristianAmazon.com (sort of the "ChristianMingle.com) of books?

Nobody forced any of these companies to support gay people. They just decided it was the right thing to do or was just good business.

Also I'm pretty sure Google basically ran an it gets better Ad. So pretty well everyone in tech thinks they're douche bags.

Unless they all want to be called lying hypocrites, they better be using Linux workstations for all their anti-gay work (I bet that the people behind Linux also support marriage equality.); and I better not catch Peter LaBarbera or Brian Brown wearing Nike shoes... or watching an ABC TV show or Pixar movie, or carrying an iPod or iPhone. It seems like the so-called "culture wars" are coming to end rather quickly, and the anti-gay zealots are on the losing side. Couldn’t agree more, Timothy.
