No doubt that Microsoft as well as hundreds of other corporations are pro-queer.

But Cook is taking his bigotry to a whole new level by going political with his queer-centric views. And just like Starbucks and their stupid Race Together Cluster-Obama - this is also failing just beautifully.

Mr. Cook, if you're really a man of your word, then shut down Apple, Inc. operations in the 19 states with similar laws. Watch the investors howl and the corporation loses 10-15% of its stock value in a blink of an eye....

Thank You Very Much for posting that!

Cook has no problems with nations that have laws protecting rapists, kidnappers, mass murderers and worse, but when a state like Indiana dares to defend their Constructional Rights?

His glory hole has a seizure.

The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest grouping of Baptist churches, condemns homosexual marriage.

From the article Mr. Cook just said that he was baptized in a Baptist church - not necessarily Southern Baptist church.
I believe the American Baptist church is akin to the PC-USA, Episcopalian, etc (i.e., non-Christian - but a social club), so perhaps he was 'baptized' in one of those churches.

Here he grossly misstates the issue and tries to equate homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia (he said “who they love,” not me) with racial equality.

I think that is the crux of the issue - at least for the non-Sodomite supporters of this perversion. The people actually ensnared in this sin might have their consciences coarsened beyond the point of thinking clearly, but the non-Sodomite supporters just perceive that they are reliving the 1960s march against racial discrimination. As the author notes - they are seriously misstating the situation.

You better not be buying Microsoft products or Android products either, because of their Homosexual Agenda that they are very public and overt about!

As for me, I don’t say that I refuse to buy Microsoft or Android or Apple - on this basis - because I’m only buying those products as to whether they are better or worse, in and of themselves. And I buy Apple Products because they are the BEST PRODUCTS and they meet my needs as a customer perfectly!

But some other posters here are are saying that they are buying (or not buying) because of politics. I go to the ballot box and to my conservative legislators for politics, and I get my views acted on there!

As I said in Post #34 ... you better not be buying Microsoft products or Android products and phones either, because of their Homosexual Agenda that they are very public and overt about!

Before you talk about the Homosexual Agenda ruining a company ... check out what the Homosexual agenda has done to Microsoft, who has been years ahead of Apple in that regard. Has their homosexual agenda, which has been overt and public caused them problems?

ALSO, what about Android ... has their homosexual agenda, which is overt and public, affected any of the Android phones?!

What I believe is that we should fight it out at the ballot box and with our conservative legislators. These other companies have done the same thing, in public, being very overt, and it hasn’t seemingly affect business.

As for me, I don’t say that I refuse to buy Microsoft or Android or Apple - on this basis - because I’m only buying those products as to whether they are better or worse, in and of themselves. And I buy Apple Products because they are the BEST PRODUCTS and they meet my needs as a customer perfectly!

I don’t give a flying rip what Tim Cook does with his genitals, but sure wish he would shut up about it.

I grew up in a time when it was considered extremely impolite to discuss such matters in public.

Tim Cook is an ill-mannered and uncouth jerk.

But, I have preferred Apple products for years. I hope this isn’t a clue that their quality is going to decline with Cook in charge. He is showing questionable judgement in hectoring the public with his personal views.

I am second to no one in opposing Tim Kooks gay agenda and Apples gay agenda. So much gayness emanates out of Cupertino California these days you would think they are holding a gay pride parade there every day

Can you tell those Cupertino flamers to stifle themselves already!!!! Enough!!!! Enough flaming aggravation!!! They are giving me agita!!!

It gotten so bad that even the gays are sick of hearing daily from Tim Kook!!!!

Well, looks like I can’t buy ANY American designed computer at all...

Well, so much for buying American.... :)
