They will be sued for this and rightfully so. That is discrimination wholeheartedly. This won't last long.

Well if Holder refuses to prosecute a Black Panther for voter intimidation (of whites), what makes you think he'll stand up for a straight white male? Remember the Democrat elite hate you if you are white, straight, and a Christian. Those white liberal/apostate Christians are just being used like ragdolls to vote the Democrats in power.

A recent news article said that Google was going to insure fairness for its employees. Heterosexual couples enjoy tax advantages that gay couples do not, so this is an attempt to right that wrong. Good for them, I say.

Hmmm.... Really? So asking sexual orientation on the application is legal? Or maybe claiming you're gay will give you more money?

It's discrimination based on sexual orientation.

This is such garbage.

They cannot create an atmosphere of discrimination to right a wrong. Furthermore it is not Google's place to level the playing field when it comes to this type of thing. It won't last long.

Well jeez... I'm single. Married people get tax benefits that I don't get... my employer should pay me more to compensate. I'm going to have to take this one up with my boss.

Don't worry it won't last long. They will be in court over this and will reverse it.
