Citing a tax law that says health insurance benefits paid to civil partners of homosexual employees are considered taxable income, while benefits provided to married spouses are not taxed, Google announced it will rectify the tax "discrimination" against homosexuals by paying them the difference. On average an extra $1,069 per year will be given to homosexuals, according to a NY Times report. The company said on  its blog  Thursday, that it will be “grossing-up imputed taxes on health insurance benefits for all same-sex domestic partners in the United States , retroactive to January 1, 2010.” Google is well known for its endorsement of homosexuality and already has parental leave for homosexuals equivalent to the Family and Medical Leave Act ; it is working with its insurers to change the definition
