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.

As the gay marriage movement begins to gain momentum, Pastor Rick Warren, best known for his best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life, is apologizing to the gay community for making comments supporting California’s Proposition 8.

During a Monday on Larry King Live, the mega-church pastor claims he “never once even gave an endorsement” of the marriage amendment only to later state that he regretted supporting it. Proposition 8 protects the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, thereby eliminating same-sex couple’s right to marry.
