Legalise Love: LGBT Rights Are Human Rights
Though our business and employees are located in offices around the world, our policies on non-discrimination are universal throughout Google. We are proud to be recognised as a leader in LGBT inclusion efforts, but there is still a long way to go to achieve full equality. Legalise Love is our call to decriminalise homosexuality and eliminate homophobia around the world.
At Google, we encourage people to bring their whole selves to work. In all of our 60 offices around the world, we are committed to cultivating a work environment where Googlers can be themselves and thrive. We also want our employees to have the same inclusive experience outside of the office, as they do at work, and for LGBT communities to be safe and to be accepted wherever they are.
From Google's statement on their Legalise Love campaign which launches in London today.
Good for them.
But seeing as gay people are almost always criminalised, not for "loving", but for having sex, calling it Legalise Love seems politically banal, prudish, dishonest, and counterproductive.

You're just never happy.
ReplyDeleteNothing is ever enough.
No semantic detail is too inconsequential not to nitpick.
But I don't agree it's just "semantic detail".
DeleteI don't see how they can help anyone if they can't face up to the fact that it's gay men fucking and sucking etc that's usually the "problem".
A bit/lot of both! The only reason they,the straight men would find it a problem would be if they were aroused by it or were shit scared they related to men fucking and sucking etc.
