Googlers care deeply about creating a workplace that affords equal
treatment for all our staff, and while we do it regardless of any
accolades we think our efforts might bring, recognition from

really pleased about our

the second year in a row. It's particularly exciting given that
this is a time of rapid growth for our population of gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender employees (whose group name is, naturally,
Gayglers) around the world.

the marches, and it was a great way to bring Gayglers and their
friends together in the communities we call home. We're
passionate about our
