Well, maybe not, but what "will" they do?

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are coughing up a bit of cash for marriage equality.

According to the Associated Press, Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, and Ballmer, the company's CEO, have each written $100,000 checks to Washington United for Marriage, a same-sex marriage advocacy group based in Seattle.

Good men.

Gabriell Anatra · 07-03-2012, 11:55 AM

Damn.

I guess I will order that Windows 7 disk after all.

Richie Waves · 07-03-2012, 12:06 PM

Windows 7 is my favourite OS ever. it's like i upgraded my PC. all the fears I had of it hamstringing my system were for naught.

Zaida Gearbox · 07-03-2012, 12:48 PM

Windows 7 rocks, but I have to say that Bill Gates donating 100k would be like me giving $20. It's nice, but it's not all that and a bag of chips.

Yeah, but are You going to give Your $20 to it ?

I wish they would. They do enough damage sending apocryphal, racist, poor-hating, and/or outright lying emails to gullible old people likely to spread them around.

Then you'd need the AOL CEO's to donate for that boycott.

Ha! I love it. Hating on gays and computers while advertising a website and holding a rainbow flag.

That MUST be photoshopped?

Just for avoidance of doubt, it's a -- possibly unsuccessful -- attempt at irony.

Mssrs Google tell me that:

Quote:

Outside the State House, there are many more gay rights protesters than anti-gay marriage demonstrators. One of the anti-gay marriage proponents, Susie Hicks from Woburn, said this was because everyone thinks gay marriage is a "done deal." She was at the State House with her friend Angela Mitchell, also from Woburn. Mitchell held a sign that read WE WANT THE BAY STATE NOT THE GAY STATE, THAT WOULD MEAN A SAD STATE.

Her sign was in sharp contrast to some of those held by gay marriage supporters that focus on gays who've made history such as Leonardo da Vinci, Alan Turing, who invented the computer, and Katherine Lee Bates, who wrote "America the Beautiful." The sign focusing on Turning, for example, reads: DESTROY THE COMPUTER! IT'S A HOMOSEXUAL INVENTION BY ALAN TURING. WHO CARES IF HE CRACKED THE GERMAN ENIGMA CODE AND WON WORLD WAR II. IT'S A HOMO'S DEVIL MACHINE.

Tom Lang of Manchester by the Sea held one of the signs -- which have taken some viewers a few moments to figure out. "We're trying to show how important gay people are to the American culture," Lang explained. "We're not mental. We're not immoral. But we're important to society and interwoven into the tapestry of America."

I usually assume anything with Impact font is a 'shop or troll until proven otherwise.

**Void** · 07-04-2012, 06:39 AM

it was a troll... just an ironic one.

and WTH, no love for Babbage? Ok, granted, he was a bit of an elitist, but still.
