Nike Urges Oregon To Pass Civil Unions Bill
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/062205nike.htm

Nike has no intention of following Microsoft through a revolving door on gay rights, planting its running shoes firmly in the ground on behalf of same-sex couples.

The Oregon-based company on Wednesday announced its support to two LGBT civil rights bills in the state: legislation to create civil unions and an antidiscrimination bill.

In a statement to the legislature Nike calls on lawmakers to pass both measures.

2. In favor of Microsith...
Gates DOES support gays, and was really pissed when his company pulled backing of the civil rights legislation.
