I don't find the presence of married gay or transgender people to be an overt political statement.
On some level it is political of course, but only on the pedantic reductionist level of "everything is a political statement". If you want to go down that route, fine, but I won't be joining you.
- greglindahl 9y agoI'm trying to figure out whether Google should express opinions about state laws that unfairly affect their employees... is that "political", according to this pledge?
- lacampbell 9y agoI dunno. Is it political for me to be required to travel to Red China when I'm an anti-communist? I'm no better equipped than you are to find out where the line should be drawn.
- greglindahl 9y agoThe overwhelming majority of Americans agree that China is an authoritarian state, whereas there's considerable disagreement about gay marriage, despite the Supreme Court saying it's legal. So I don't think many people would agree that it's a similar line.
