Apple has added an LGBT section to its App Store that showcases apps, books, movies, TV shows and podcasts to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots.
It's Gay Pride in cities worldwide this month, an event sure to get a big boost of excitement following the US Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide on Friday. And in what some digerati may consider added cause for celebration, Apple has added an LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) section on the App Store that showcases tons of content for the LGBT community.
The section, which went live on the App Store on Thursday, is intended to commemorate the June 28, 1969 Stonewall riots that served as one of the most prominent historical events leading to the gay liberation movement. App Store visitors will find books, apps, movies, TV shows and podcasts that represent the LGBT community.
Some of the more prominent selections include movies like "Milk," a biography of Harvey Milk's struggles as a gay activist who became California's first openly gay elected official, and "Philadelphia," about a gay lawyer with AIDS who gets fired, and finds help suing his former company. TV shows like "Orange is the New Black" and "Modern Family," and books like "The Right Side of History" and "Raising My Rainbow" also appear in the section.
Apple has been outspoken about LGBT issues of late. The company's CEO Tim Cook, who recently announced he was gay, has spoken out often against anti-LGBT legislation, and his name was featured on Alabama's anti-discrimination bill. The company also participated in Pride 2014 in San Francisco, posting a video to YouTube of the many Apple employees who marched in the parade.
You can check out the company's LGBT-friendly selections by visiting the LGBT featured section on the App Store as you get ready for what should be a pretty jubilant Pride Weekend in light of Friday's Supreme Court news.
Tim Cook delenda est.
I really have to wonder about a guy who is proud to be a homo.
C:> ?
Gee, Timmy...when ya gonna start the pedophilia section?
Nice little apps for Apple people to find vict.., uh, “special friends”?
We can call it the NAMBLA app.
Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave. Even though he was a liberal(Correct me if Im wrong) even he didnt bring politics into Apple..but this Tim Cook schmuck is destroying the company with his homo love nonsense
their new Pouncer.app will be a big hit i'm sure
an app so they can hook up faster and spread AIDS quicker.
Succession may be the answer.
Wait, so the rebel flag disappears and replaced by the fudger flag. Man, what happened to the country?
Do they have a Christian section? I don’t do Apple. Or muzzie. ..or Jewish?
..or ?
Even so come Lord Jesus.
So what’s the next perversion they’ll be championing?
Foreign workers. There hasn’t been a Global pride day yet.
Too corrupt to be ashamed.
Grindr already exists for them to hookup.
No telling if anyone made an app to indicate where the best bathrooms are for random hookups. There are websites that do map them out for the gay community. Some are in public parks and some are in government office buildings.
On Facebook, critics are asking when they are planning to celebrate the asian laborers who make their products.
