Google to offer gay staff extra pay to allow for tax inequality with straight couples

Internet giant Google today began paying its gay staff more than heterosexual employees in the latest example of its lavish perks culture, reports The Daily Mail.

Lesbian and homosexual staff will get extra wages to make up for higher taxes they have to pay.

The search engine decided it was only fair to bump up the salaries of its gay staff, a spokesman said.

Under U.S. law, when a firm offers health insurance as a benefit for an employee’s partner, it is tax-free for married couples but taxable income for  gays.

Google will make up the difference in additional pay, on average $980 a year.

“Some people are gay! Get over it!” This message of tolerance brought to you by Sir Ian McKellen.

Neil Patrick Harris!  What a guy!  He’s smart, talented, and wildly successful.  He is the star of hit network television show that is about to hit the magic 100 episode milestone.  His successful stint hosting the Emmy Awards this past Sunday was exceptional.  It’s almost as if he can do no wrong.

Except for this whole New York Magazine cover thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t be happier that Neil Patrick Harris has just been declared “Hollywood’s First (Openly) Gay Breakthrough Star,”** but his decision to pose on the cover while applying lipstick gave me and my boyfriend a massive steaming pile of HomoShame.

If NPH was being declared “Hollywood’s First Drag Queen Star” or “Hollywood’s First Male L’Oreal Cosmetics Spokesman,” I’d totally be cheering Neil on every step of the way.  But our little Doogie is being positioned as an Openly Gay Womanizer/Theater Nerd/Frat Boy/Emmy Host/Leading Man/Breakthrough Star.  Guess what they all have in common?  They don’t have ANYTHING to do with LIPSTICK.  (Yes, Theater Nerd may warrant the lipstick.  But that’s only one in six.)

So the next time you find yourself posing for a cover story about being the coolest gay man on the planet Mister Harris, all I ask is that you keep the lipstick in your pants.

**HomoShame Side Note : NPH can only be considered “Hollywood’s First (Openly) Gay Breakthrough Star” if you forget about that whole Rupert Everett debacle that happened in the late nineties.

LET’S GO ECO! WE GO GREEN - DO YOU?
