Comment (0)Argentina approved gay marriage yesterday, making it the first country in South America to allow same-sex couples to legally marry. I can’t help but notice that the last two countries to legalize gay marriage have had a women president calling the shots. Coincidence?
Comment (0)Google has announced they will begin grossing up the salaries of employees who incur the additional cost of domestic partnership benefits. If you’re like me, and have never heard the term ‘grossing up’, check out this explanation on the HRC Website.
Employees with these benefits pay approximately $1,000 more per year (each) in taxes than heterosexual married employees with the same coverage. While Google definitely deserves a lot of credit for being one of the first companies to not only acknowledge but compensate for this ridiculous disparity, major kudos should also go to the Google employee who brought it to the Executive’s attention.

Comment (1)As if Iceland was cool enough already…
Iceland is the world’s only country with an openly gay head of government, Johanna Sigurdardottir. On Sunday, Iceland’s Parliment voted *unanimously* in favor of legalizing Gay Marriage and with no further delay, Prime Minister Sigurdardottir married her partner. If only we knew where they were registered, I’d send them a chip ‘n’ dip.
Comment (1)I guess we’re supposed to be excited that Laura Bush has “come out” and said gays should be allowed to marry. I can’t help but be reminded of almost one year ago when Dick Cheney had his revelation about same-sex marriage.
These two had 8 years to speak up for us, thanks for nothing!
