3. Demand that Microsoft return the award it received
from the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. We don't
give corporate bigots awards, and we don't expect them
to keep such awards under false pretenses. If
Microsoft has now rethunk its position on defending
civil rights, then give back the damn award:

Per Microsoft's own Web site:

"Microsoft has been honored for its pioneering work on
behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
community with the annual Corporate Vision Award of
the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center."
