Google's gay Easter egg for Pride Month

If you run a Google search on almost anything from "gay rights" and "marriage equality" to "lesbian" or "bisexual" to "Toronto Pride", you'll find Google's gay Easter egg.

For Pride Month, Google has once again created a special search box that appears if you type in queer-related search terms. (For some reason, "same-sex marriage" doesn't work.)

Google has done this for the past six years, and has previously provided graphics such as a curved rainbow and a rainbow-coloured awning-fringe pattern. All of this reflects the company's support of gay rights.

In fact, LGBT Google employees even have their own name—Gayglers—and the company has backed LGBT rights, including opposition to Proposition 8. Gayglers will march in Pride parades in various cities.

And if you're a sucker for tearjerkers, here's a moving Google+ ad that illustrates how French couples used Google Hangouts technology to get married by video conferencing with a mayor in Belgium, where gay marriage is legal. Couples resorted to these measures prior to French president Françoise Hollande legalizing same-sex marriage in April.
