Why should anyone, or a collective entity, sit idly by while things are being said and done that they do not believe in? Everyone is so indifferent to everyone

Why should anyone, or a collective entity, sit idly by while things are being said and done that they do not believe in? Everyone is so indifferent to everyone else in this day in age. Why shouldn't Google (at least their executive board) be able to say that they feel strongly that gay marriage is a right that should be had? Your style of thinking is a dangerous subconcious attitude that has crept across our nation since the latter half of the 20th century. Stand up for what you believe, because if you don't you may lose out on more than just your rights.
