shows its support of same-sex marriage, reports Dot429.
In a written statement Google describes "Legalize Love' as "a campaign to
promote safer conditions for gay and lesbian people inside and outside the
office in countries with anti-gay laws on the books."
Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe, Google's head of diversity, outlined the initiative
at a Global LGBT Workplace Summit in London on Saturday, saying "We want our
employees who are gay or lesbian or transgender to have the same experience
outside the office as they do in the office. It is obviously a very
ambitious piece of work.
The campaign officially launched Saturday in Poland and Singapore. Google
plans to eventually expand the initiative to every country where the company
has an office, and will focus on places with homophobic cultures, where
anti-gay laws exist.
Palmer-Edgecumbe also spoke about the decision to launch the initial phase
in a country like Singapore, saying, "Singapore wants to be a global
financial center and world leader and we can push them on the fact that
being a global center and a world leader means you have to treat all people
the same, irrespective of their sexual orientation."
This isn't the first time the internet leader has shown its support for
equality. In February Google celebrated Valentine's Day with a romance-
themed animated Google Doodle that offered a nod to LGBT users (pictured). |
