Tim Cook: Apple Will Oppose Bills Like Indiana's 'Religious Freedom' Law

Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook on Sunday broadened his criticism of a new law in Indiana, which opponents say could be used to discriminate against gay people, to other states that he says have similar laws.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law Thursday, sparking an outcry from those, including Cook, who say it could be used to protect businesses that refuse to serve gay people. The law's supporters say it will prevent the government from forcing business owners from providing services that go against their religious beliefs.

"These bills rationalize injustice by pretending to defend something many of us hold dear," Cook wrote in a Washington Post op-ed, referring not only to Indiana's law, which goes into effect in July, but also to those of "more than two dozen states."

Not really up to a business entity to decide the laws of common decency and putting public and mental health ahead of pandering to a group of disease-ridden perverts.

[Grampa Dave]

Just a minor adjustment on your post.

"Apple isn’t a corporation, it’s a CULT!"

Mr. Cook, then you you better seriously consider shutting down Apple Stores in 19 states with similar laws. Talk about killing the stock value of the company in very short order.

: Garfunkel Oates no longer feeling his Oates....: )

The place is crawling with Libertinians. They’re on a killing spree against all the American founding principles of religion, law, foreign oppressors, and these are but a few.

Religious freedom is a right. Homosexualism is not.

[TheOldLady]

Religious freedom is a right. Homosexualism is not.

Amen!

I hope that brer Garf finds peace with those Demons of Faggotry.

I’m told they can be a real pain in the arse.

[TheOldLady]

Especially when they gang up on him...

Maybe if he learned to run really fast?

Apple has ever gotten money from me, and I darn sure won’t give it to them now. I can’t afford to buy what little I have, so why would I want to give it to someone who obviously doesn’t need it?

[TheOldLady]

I hate Apple.

[Swordmaker]

More mixing of CEO Tim Cook's reprehensible personal agenda with Apple company policy PING!

Apple Tim Cook mixing his Gay belief's into Company policy Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Good. I do, too. Shame on Tim for going political, like Starbuck’s. I don’t wish either company bad luck, but I hope they enjoy the backlash from conservatives who refuse to buy their products.

[Monkey Face]

And it was so simply sweet...from Jim Rob himself!

[Star Traveler]

Well, it’s a good thing I’m not “buying Tim Cook” himself then ... LOL ... because I wouldn’t! I’m not that way!

What I do buy, however are the best products for the money! My iPad is NOT HOMOSEXUAL, it does not make me homosexual, and I’m not going to VOTE HOMOSEXUAL because I have an Apple iPhone or iPad or other Apple products.

My conservative political stuff will all be by the ballot box, and by supporting my conservative legislators. One example of who I voted for here in Oklahoma was James Inhoffe, Jim Bridenstein and Tom Coburn and his replacement James Lankford. And if you don’t like our legislators ... too bad! ... :-) ...

And I give “money for nothing” (that is, NOT in exchange for products or services, but to “give it away”) ... listed on my previous posting ... Post #114! Give money to them if you want to support organizations! Give money to the kind of legislators I voted for if you want to support politicians! And then use your money to “exchange” for goods ... the best you can find for any product that meets your needs, as THAT is our “marketplace” in the Free Enterprise system.

I’ll keep voting at the ballot box against the homosexual agenda to be legislated on us.

[Fledermaus]

And does he know the federal one was pushed by Chuck U. Schumer and congressional Dems and signed into law by Bill Clinton?

[Star Traveler]

Oh ... and I forgot Starbucks! I was just waiting for someone there to start that conversation with me! They never did though, but I was ready. I was going to tell them that I don’t come into Starbucks for their POLITICAL VIEWPOINT and to SHUT UP!! ... LOL ...

I was kinda sorry that they never gave me that chance ... :-) ...

[Fledermaus]

It’s like the old segregation laws passed by Democrats. They FORBID white business owners to sell to blacks or forced them to sale to them seperately in the back of the store, etc.

Many white owners just wanted their green.
