Google Celebrates Gay Pride

By , About.com GuideJune 20, 2012

Follow me on:

June if Pride Month and to help celebrate Google has added a festive rainbow colored banner to its search box.

Type in the word "gay" and Googlers are given a custom search box that looks like it's been dipped in Skittles.

Google is no stranger to supporting gay causes. Last June, Google decorated it's search box with rainbow colors. The year before, Google's Gayglers (as their gay employee group is called) were given a pay raise to compensate for the discrepancy in take home pay they lost as a result of not having the same marriage rights as other Google employees.

Google is doing right things. I do not know why http://www.pozkiss.com does not use rainbow at their site as a dating and support community for gay with herpes, HIV or other STDs.
