As an Internet company, Google is an active participant in policy debates surrounding information access, technology and energy. Because our company has a great diversity of people and opinions -- Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, all religions and no religion, straight and gay -- we do not generally take a position on issues outside of our field, especially not social issues. So when Proposition 8 appeared on the California ballot, it was an unlikely question for Google to take an official company position on.
However, while there are many objections to this proposition -- further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text -- it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. 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.

How is Google anti-Mormon? Or are you just stating that anyone who opposes prop 8 is Anti-Mormon?
I like their statement, and agree with it, by the way.

Many Mormons feel Google is anti Mormon by way of how it aids in destroying testiphonies one search word at a time.
It was my guide out of the cult.

When you refer to "many Mormons", are you referring to a particular article or study, or just from other Mormons you have talked to? Just curious.

I've never felt google was "anti-Mormon," and have never met a Mormon who did.

And I never met an American who thought Google was anti-American.
That ripping sound you hear is some people stretching this little factoid beyond it's capacity to hold truth.

How typical for you mindless Mormons.
You assume he is gay simply because he appears single and is against prop 8?
Why don't you ask his wife Anne Wojcicki:
FYI, I found this by simply Googling Sergey's name.
