Google Amicus Brief Challenges Calif.’s Prop 8 PC Magazine

Google has issued its support for several cases challenging California’s Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that banned gay marriage in the state.

“Denying employees basic rights isn’t right, and it isn’t good for businesses,” Google wrote in a blog post. “We are committed to preserving fundamental rights for every one of the people who work hard to make Google a success.”

In May, the California Supreme Court struck down a state ban on gay marriage. Proposition 8, included as a ballot initiative during the November general election, reversed that decision. Since then, a number of groups and individuals have filed lawsuits, claiming Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.
