Incorrect. Microsoft bills itself as "gay friendly", not "gay neutral." A company that claims to be gay friendly and yet does not support enacting civil liberties for gays and lesbians cannot make the claim.

Oh, and way to miss the point.

They supported this legislation for the last umpteen years.
Now they don't.

And - breaking news as of 2 hours ago - the state senator from Microsoft's district in Redmond voted against the legislation.

In any case, I don't hate them for not being politically active on gay issues.

Yes, I know - you got yours. Not doing much to make me believe that claim, are you?
