After seeing Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Ellen DeGeneres and Steven Spielberg strongly support the fight against California’s Proposition 8, Google, one of the biggest players on the Internet, has come forward to similarly voice their opposition to Proposition 8 in public. Proposition 8, which is titled “Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry Act”, seeks a ban on gay marriage in California, which was legalized just a few months ago. It is up for voting on the 2008 California General Election ballot during the November 4 election. Google Co-Founder and President of Technology Sergey Brin explained the company’s decision on the official Google blog.  ...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.
