Google is set to begin covering a cost that gay and lesbian employees must pay when their partners receive domestic partner health benefits, according to a report in the New York Times.
The cost is largely to compensate these workers for an extra tax that heterosexual married couples do not pay. The increase will be retroactive to the beginning of the year, the newspaper said.
Google is not the first large company to make up for the extra tax, the Times reported, adding that Google’s move could inspire its Silicon Valley competitors to follow suit, as they compete for the same talent.

that’s QUEER... no joke...
Get hired at Google, tell them you’re gay and you want to get paid more. If they start asking questions, report them to the EOE and sue them for questioning your sexuality.
“It pays to be a sodomite.” Who’d a’ thunk it?
When did it become cool to be gay?
It’s one thing to be tolerant and respectful of other people who are different, but something else when all the “gay” issues are in our faces constantly.
Don’t you just love it when the MSM celebrates the latest celebrity who comes out of the closet? Kelly McGillis and Meredith Baxter come to mind. I think one of those said she had it with men, so wanted to be lesbian. Which contradicts what we’re constantly told, that homosexuality is inborn and not anyone’s choice, but, to those pusing liberal causes, intellectual honesty doesn’t matter.
How do they know which employees are gay. I’m gay and my wife is a lesbian if there is some money in it.
Absolutely! A guy or gal would be crazy not to take advantage of this. Partner up and collect.
Hey Boss!
I like Broadway show tunes. A lot.
So pay up with my queer bonus!
“I’m gay and my wife is a lesbian if there is some money in it.”
HAH!!
I’m gay and so is my wife!
Hey I have an idea. Some of you dimwits who didn’t know Google was run by leftists should just stop “googling it”.
Ixquick Protects Your Privacy !
The only search engine that does not record your IP address.
Your privacy is under attack !
Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data are recorded.
Your search terms, the time of your visit, the links you choose, your IP address and your User ID cookies all get stored in a database.
The identity profiles that can be constructed from this cloud of information represent modern day gold for marketers.
But government officials, hackers and even criminals also have an interest in getting their hands on your personal search data.
And sooner or later they will...
What could happen ?
Consider the following story:
In August 2006, the online world was jarred by the AOL privacy scandal:
AOL released three months’ worth of aggregated search data from 650,000 of its users, publishing all the details in an online database. This database is still searchable. It is an absolute eye-opener to see the potential for privacy nightmares.
—>Enter a query and find who searched for it
—>Then click on a “User ID” to find what else this user searched for
Shocked ? You are not alone.
When we search, we share our most private thoughts with our computers.
These private thoughts should be safe.
Ixquick’s position:
You have a right to privacy.
Your search data should never fall into the wrong hands.
The only real solution is quickly deleting your data or not storing them to begin with.
Since January 2009 we do not record our users’ IP addresses anymore.
We are the first and only search engine to do so.
Our initiative is receiving an overwhelmingly positive response!
Ixquick will wholeheartedly continue on its mission to offer you great search results in the best possible privacy!
How much you want to bet that doesn't happen.
Hell, I’d tell them I was a polyamorous homosexual and demand to get paid a lot more.
What’s polyamorous you ask? Well, polyamorous is a fancy way of saying “easy” or “whore”.
Google should be turned into a pillar of salt.
Where, oh where, is the ACLU!
This is discriminatory on the basis on sexual preferenence. Take it to the courts. Sue Google.
It's embarrassing, sure, but you will take home a little extra pay and will be insulated against layoffs.
Kelly McGillis was raped. Hating all men is bigotry same as hating all hispanic people because one robbed you at gunpoint one night.
