While Microsoft screws gays...
...they get the gays on Capital Hill liquored up!

Yep...you read it right, while the software giant changes its stand on a law to protect gays from discrimination to the chagrin of community leaders, we can count on our friends on Capital Hill to make sure they get a piece of the Microsoft action.

I've got a post on these free cocktail drinking staffers being in bed with Microsoft and a host of other comapnies.

1. I get it!
It's one of those secret plots, along the theme "Boy, was I drunk last night..." Then, they'll have to start voting to protect the LGBT community out of guilt!

Well, just a thought.

2. Another tawdry example
...of gays who will take a free drink of kool-aid from a company that not only breaks its word, but tries to justify it by philosophizing about making their "christian" employees feel comfortable.

Microsoft should be crawled on the carpet for this . . .

3. I believe it's "called on the carpet"
but I like your phrasing MUCH better.

4. YIkes
I can't believe I typed that...LOLOL

By the way, Americablog.com has a list of contact people - seems like the L.A.Gay and Lesbian Center asked Microsoft for an award back (given in 2001 for their support for gay legislation, among other things) and the company hasn't responded.

Let them know how angry we are at this travesty. . .
