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'.

The problem with Civil Unions is that to make it fair everyone that is "Married" under the law would no longer be so, and that would upset a great number of people as well. Calling a legal institution one thing for one group and one thing for a another is not right. IMHO its all or nothing we are all "Married" Legally or we are all "Civilly Joined"

Move marriage from the civil arena and let each belief system embrace whatever it may be and we wouldn't be in this mess.
Better would have been for the civil branch to create something akin to marriage legally and taxation wise, but simply not call it marriage, which you indirectly acknowledge as religious as well as civil. Civil Unions are the best course for that action.
However, that people were not content with Civil Unions points out that the goal is not civil recognition but religious recognition.
