'I don't want the company to be in the position of appearing to dismiss the deeply-held beliefs of any employee, by picking sides on social policy issues,' explained CEO Steve Ballmer. That was then. Microsoft — like Google and Amazon — has since very publicly declared its support for gay-marriage legislation, which means it — unlike Chick-fil-A — needn't worry about the 'deeply-held beliefs of any employee' causing it to be blocked from doing business by the Mayors of Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco. And we'll never know how successful a Microsoft version of "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" might have been (or a “National Same-Sex Kiss Day" in Microsoft Stores)."
