Everything is a political statement to someone
Agreed. Showing support for LGBT people == politics? Give me a BREAK.

Companies have social responsibilities. Supporting human rights is a positive thing.

#26Well the olympics already discriminates against mens in women competitions and vice versa.
But anyway LGBT support or condamnations is pure bullshit and should not be in the Olympics.
To much sex talking. Just because there's so much sexual media doesn't mean that the LGBT should get their part of the attention on the news. We should go the other way and talk less about sex in the media.

#28Too bad encrypted.google.com doesn't have doodles.
It's not a doodle, it's a footer.
And for those who for whatever reason cannot see it on Google, it reads: "The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." –Olympic Charter

#30The LGBT Russia thing is totally blown out of proportion. http://www.scribd.com/doc/203382931/Russian-Lgbt-Law-White-P... Before you decide to down-vote me into oblivion and accuse me of hating minority groups please read the white paper linked above. Note I am not affiliated with the person who wrote it or scribd. I just want people to see both sides of the argument. EDIT - And what a surprise down-voted. Seriously…
"Both sides of the argument."
That Russia has a reasonable political platform regarding its LGBT citizens? I am not sure that it is possible to 'blow out of proportion' what is most certainly a human rights issue. This was your own assertion, not that of the paper's.
The topic was the Google Doodle showing support for LGBT people and your first impulse is to imply that the situation in Russia is in fact a non-issue.
That is why you were downvoted, man.
