Video of Microsoft accepting 2001 LA Gay & Lesbian Center award. Wonder if MSFT's lawyer will deny them making these statements too...

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Just watch Microsoft gush about how proud they are to be so pro-gay, supporting the gay agenda, gay rights bills, and all the rest.

Some of my favorite parts:

- Microsoft calls people like Ken Hutcherson's anti-gay religious bigotry "extreme views":
When some of the most respected companies in America made it clear that they supported equality for gays and lesbians they also implicitly told those who oppose this equality that they were no longer in the mainstream and that their views were the extreme views.
- Microsoft is proud to be a strong supporter of gay rights legislation:
I'm proud to say that Microsoft has worked to defeat several anti-gay ballot initiatives and is also a strong supporter of ENDA, the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
- And here is my personal favorite:
We share your goals, we share your values, and most importantly Microsoft shares your commitment to equality and empowerment.
Uh, not so much.
