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."

Does Apple realize there are 19 such state laws and a federal one?

A corporation is once again attempting to override the will of an elected legislature and governor.

I’ve already decided that from now on I will oppose Apple.

They get no money from me.

So Indiana and other RFRA states should stop using Apple products.

Of course they can. But the devils that drive them are not happy until they have pushed over as many Christians as possible.

Apple isn’t a corporation, it’s a religion.

Well they have shown themselves to be quite heathen. If there was something that is worthy of consideration of being supplanted, Apple products are.

Yet another reason not to buy over-hyped, overpriced mediocre technology.

While he was the power there, he kept Apple from diving into this kind of nonsense. Now he’s gone.

Nothing new here. All the big corporations in Germany in 1933 signed on to Hitler’s totalitarian programs.
