In a rather unusual move, both Google and Apple have publicly backed the fight against "Proposition 8", both by words as well as by donation. Proposition 8 is an initiative measure in the state of California that would ban same-sex marriages in California by amending the Constitution of the state to include that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California". Both companies gave out their reasoning for supporting the fight against 'Prop 8'.

"Individuals certainly, large corporations... well, I don't think so. This is dangerous in its own way. I agree with others here who say this sets a dangerous precedent. This time it's gay marriage, next time it's... well, anything."
Well, at least here in the US it has been going on like that ..with corporations funding things..for at least 100 years maybe more. Part of politics unfortunately. Anymore it is about how much money a candidate can raise on whether they get elected or not..sad state of affairs.
