That's an interesting grammatical choice of the word "upholds" in the title, OP. When I read "gay rights" and "upholds" together, I start thinking about the law. My first thought when opening this thread was trying to understand what role Google had in upholding the laws related to gay rights (I was clearly wrong haha). But then I thought about it - maybe you meant "supports" but English isn't your first language? They are technically synonyms - support and uphold - but, in common usage when discussing things like this, I think most English-as-first-language speakers would have used the word "supports" to avoid confusion with legal bodies.
