Congratulations to Kara Swisher of AllThingsD, who pre-empted the passing of Proposition 8 in California on Tuesday by marrying her partner, Google vice president of business development Megan Smith. As gleefully pointed out by Valleywag, Swisher tucked the announcement discreetly into a disclosure statement on her blog.
A number of high-profile Silicon Valley executives had spoken out against Proposition 8, and therefore in favour of gay marriage and equal rights, not that that was enough to stop the law being amended.
