As you should know, Google had a doodle video on their website on Tuesday, Valentine’s Day. In the sketch, a boy was trying to win over a girl, who is jumping rope, by looking up on google the average items to buy your Valentine. None of these items attracted the girl, however when the boy gets out his jump rope and jumps next to her, the boy has one her heart.

Above is what Google.com looked like
at the end of the Valentine's Day
video.

The girl does not like the
boring gift he gives her.

At the end of the video, there was a screen with six gay couples in six boxes. As the one shown in the picture. This brings up the question, does Google promote gay marriage? In 2008, Google came out against Proposition 8, which was against gay marriages in states, so it would not be the first time. Also, in 2011 during Gay Pride Month, Google changes its layout. When you search a word that is related to being gay, Google had a rainbow slide down from the top of the page and then twirl around the search bar.

He has won her heart and they live
Happily Ever After.

Above is the symbol of
Gay Pride Month.

If this does support gay marriage, Google did it at the right time. With Washington becoming the seventh state to allow gay marriage and New Jersey may be voting on as soon as Thursday, there couldn’t be better timing.
