In ten short years, they’ve gone from working out of a garage to having a market capitalization in the neighborhood of $140 billion, making it one of the largest companies in the world. And the company’s management feels strongly enough about Prop. 8’s potential effect on their business that they’re taking the unusual step of publicly denouncing the measure. In co-founder Sergey Brin’s words:

[I]t is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8….

We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 — we should not eliminate anyone’s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.

Companies like Google, Levi Strauss, PG&E, and AT&T understand the negative effect Prop. 8 will have on their businesses. And as Republicans who believe in creating business-friendly environments, we agree.
