Google is flexing its political muscle on the issue of gay marriage. Specifically, the search engine giant is against protecting traditional marriage in its home state of California.
 
Proposition 8, the proposed constitutional amendment that would protect marriage in California as the union of one man and one woman, is under fire from Google's co-founder.
 
"As an Internet company, Google is an active participant in policy debates surrounding information access, technology and energy," says Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder and president of Technology.
