While Microsoft won’t officially comment on political donations made by their employees, Microsoft has previously stated: “Marriage equality in Washington would put employers here on an equal footing with employers in the six other states that already recognize the committed relationships of same-sex couples – Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
