Google's Olympics Doodle and the Movement Toward Equality

(x)

It’s been a big week for the gay rights movement worldwide, so I feel the need to mention all of the major events I’ve been hearing about this week. First, Scotland legalized gay marriage. Then, Google posted a rainbow doodle for two days leading into the Olympics, proclaiming to the world its support for equality. Capping off the week, the U.S. government announced the expansion of legal benefits and services for same-sex marriages. Each of these on its own is an important, blog post-worthy topic. But since they all occurred in such quick succession, I wanted to make sure they all got at least a mention, even if I can’t be the one to go in-depth about all of them. You can follow the links to read more about all three, but for today, I’m going to focus mainly on the Google doodle.

Google Is So Much Gayer Than You Thought

Some of you may remember this from last summer when

Google is so gay! That's why the American Family Association, or Buster Wilson in particular, along with all the other homophobic bigots, currently have their garments in a twist.

Since Google announced its 'Legalize Love' campaign a few days ago, homophobes all over the internet have been threatening to boycott Google for supporting gay rights.

But they obviously haven't been too observant over the last year or so, pictured left is a screenshot of the Google search bar from last summer for instance.
