That one Aaron person is so silly in the comments.

I've given up with reading comments. Too many ridiculous statements. Many of the commenters say things like "Google is alienating straight people!", "I'm quitting Google" and "I was a Googler".

There is an never will be a 'was' for being a googler, sorry to break it to them.

So long as google remains a strong company, we're going to have google-powered search everywhere.

Also google ads.

"I'm never using google again."

We'll see how long that lasts. I guess you're going to have to Bing your lasagna recipes.

Yeah. I thought so. You're coming back on your knees to Google. Well, maybe Google doesn't want you?

Is it really worth it to rant at Google for homophobes? They know themselves that barring the sudden arrival of the Rapture, they will be using it for years to come.

BUT THA RAYPTURE IS COMIN' IN LIKE A YEAR! ALL THE SAHGNS ARE COMIN' TA PAYSS!

But yes, it's pretty near impossible to permanently boycott something as ubiquitous and convenient as Google, especially for ideological reasons that are stupid in the first place. They'll continue to use it - they'll just rant about how it sucks. Kind of like everyone on Facebook.

Sure, go ahead.

Oh, and something occurs to me. Marriage has been declared a univeral human right, yes? And a constitutional right in the US (which, if I recall correctly, Vazdania lives), yes? Well then in the interests of furthering human rights, same sex marriage is going to happen whether they like it or not. If they are all for denying people basic human rights, well there are all sorts of fun historical figures they might be interested in.

And the idea of them being so focused on homosexuals and same sex marriage as to be willing to move to a foreign country to avoid it is hilarious for all the right reasons.
