Apple, Facebook, Intel, and Morgan Stanley and others will file a Supreme Court brief favoring gay marriage.

Forbes is reporting the companies will submit an amicus brief in the landmark Hollingsworth v. Perry case. They will arguing to the U.S. Supreme Court that laws banning same-sex marriages, like California's ballot initiative Proposition 8, are unconstitutional under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. It's a huge step for these companies to step into the political arena on such a topic given that many of their customers, but not the majority, will attempt to punish them for taking a position on the issue. http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2013/02/26/corporate-america-gay-marriage/
