Google Launches Legalise Love Campaign

2 Comments Posted by on July 9, 2012

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.

    Interestingly Google have said that their campaign is not a political one so perhaps they are keeping clear of marriage equality debates? Not sure but happy that such a global company is taking steps to encourage equality nonetheless. One to keep an eye on for sure…

      I’m not sure how it will play out, Emmica. Here’s a blurb from http://mashable.com/2012/07/08/google-gay-legalize-love/

      “We want our employees who are gay or lesbian or transgender to have the same experience outside the office as they do in the office,” Palmer-Edgecumbe said. “It is obviously a very ambitious piece of work.”

      Google plans to develop relationships between companies and support grass-roots campaigning. Legalize Love will focus primarily on countries with homophobic laws and cultures.

      “‘Legalize Love’ is a campaign to promote safer conditions for gay and lesbian people inside and outside the office in countries with anti-gay laws on the books,” Google wrote in a statement.

      Palmer-Edgecumbe says Google is beginning the push in Singapore because the country is striving to be a global financial leader.
