Once you cross the line and start issuing statements about supporting homosexuality with your corporate brand...you can NEVER walk it back. It’s not like you can issue a retraction from it. If you did...then you would face the wrath of the gay mafia.
No, he was not one of the main guys from Apple. Ron Johnson was a marketing exec who developed the Apple Store layout and format. He was not in charge of any of their marketing campaigns and he was never given control over Apple’s direction. Before Jobs hired him in 2000 to help develop the stores, he worked for Target for 15 years and helped develop their store plans and layouts.
