[Update] Google and Android Support Gay Pride
|
[Update]: Given the nature of some of the comments below, I feel the need to chime back in and clear a few things up. This post was not meant – in ANY way – to spark up “socialist” propaganda or “spread” anything. Reading the original text, I’m only commenting on the humor found on the shirts that Google had made. I apologize to anyone offended by this post – and, as a result, offended by some of the thoughts seen in the comments section – but we are an Android site and we’ve posted on other types of Android apparel before. This post is no different.
Having said that,
@riverjao: What proof? Currently there is no, nor has there ever been any definitive proof. Get your facts together.
I love the shirt. I’m gay- I’m a Phandroid and i have Pride for both.
Also- Pride Parade are not just about Gay Pride! It’s about pride in who ever and what ever you are!
I love this site, and I love android, and on top of it all Godly Google.
@ari free: Really? Gay is something you DO? Just like straight is something you DO? And male is something you DO? And [insert race/religion/political party/social group/handicap/age/etc. here] is something you DO? Hmm… I always thought the Android crowd was a bit more intelligent than that. And just FYI, I never, ever said anything about a philosophical movement. That’s something you pulled out of your own orifice.
HAHAH “so addicted to gay”, like it’s some kind of soft drink.
i want to stop posting but i am so addicted to gay
Wow! so many anti-gay comments. You guys are really showing your ignorance here. If this is going to stop you from supporting android then you are fucken retarded because i know for a fact at least 1 of the Android engineers is Gay. Are you guys really going to let your hate stop you from all the android goodness. Shut up and grow up!
Rob maybe you shouold just close comments on this post.
of course this article will offend people and some of the other posts will offend gay people. Oh well, too bad. Learn to deal with getting offended.

“I wonder if Google/Android would of hosted a parade in Sodom?”
That’s “would have.” It’s English. Learn to speak it before you go spouting off borderline hateful garbage.
@caffesilvia Seriously. I thought people who follow a news site for a phone operating system would be at least moderately intelligent.
Amen. A corporation standing up for people? I’ll take that over polluters and fascists any day.
lol, knew this article was gonna explode in comments the moment I saw it posted. You guys really should consider coming up with a canned disclosure type thing for these type of articles…. like this:
.
“Please try not to lose your sh** over this article, it isn’t meant to offend anyone: we’re just reporting on something we saw or heard about. Keep it calm and civil folks.”
Man. Who knew the Phandroid readership was full of borderline-retarded rednecks? Are you guys for real?
some days i wake up wanting hotdogs, other days i wake up wanting catfish… i am entitled to eat whatever i want right?
riverjao – There’s no single ‘autism gene’, either, but there’s no doubt there’s a strong biological and genetic component to autism.

Homosexuality is probably the same way. No single ’cause’, just a complex set of factors that interact in different ways in different people.
(And, BTW, I’m not even calling homosexuality a ‘disease’ or anything like that. I’m just pointing out that something can be biological even if there’s no one single gene that ’causes’ it.)
I wonder if Google/Android would of hosted a parade in Sodom?
