Tim Cook shares message of hope with LGBTQ+ youth at Loveloud 2018
As expected, Tim Cook was in attendance at the 2018 Loveloud festival yesterday. Loveloud is dedicated to “ignite the vital conversation about what it means to unconditionally love, understand, accept, and support LGBTQ+ youth in our communities.”
...Cook took the stage to tell those in attendance that they are “a gift to the world.” He went on to say that there’s no need to struggle to be “what someone else thinks is normal” and pointed out that normal just might be the worst word ever created...

Sooo, there is that.

"There is nothing that we will be pushing on more strongly for congress to act on," Microsoft president and chief legal officer Brad Smith said in an interview with NPR. Smith added that it won't be easy for the government to deport Microsoft employees who are DREAMers: "[The government's] going to have to go through us to get that person," Smith said.

Microsoft don’t have a public reputation for it, but they quietly pushed for gay marriage through lobbying and social engineering since the 1980s. It was a long term goal of the company, and one they wouldn’t have been very successful with if they were “in people’s faces” about it.

Apple didn’t financially back any social causes until Tim Cook took over the company. Now they’re all in, unfortunately.
