There's something very dangerous happening in states across the country.
A wave of legislation, introduced in more than two dozen states, would allow people to discriminate against their neighbors. Some, such as the bill enacted in Indiana last week that drew a national outcry and one passed in Arkansas, say individuals can cite their personal religious beliefs to refuse service to a customer or resist a state nondiscrimination law.
Others are more transparent in their effort to discriminate. Legislation being considered in Texas would strip the salaries and pensions of clerks who issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples — even if the Supreme Court strikes down Texas' marriage ban later this year. In total, there are nearly 100 bills designed to enshrine discrimination in state law.
These bills rationalize injustice by pretending to defend something many of us hold dear. They go against the very principles our nation was founded on, and they have the potential to undo decades of progress toward greater equality.
America's business community recognized a long time ago that discrimination, in all its forms, is bad for business. At Apple, we are in business to empower and enrich our customers' lives. We strive to do business in a way that is just and fair.
That's why, on behalf of Apple, I'm standing up to oppose this new wave of legislation — wherever it emerges. I'm writing in the hopes that many more will join this movement. From North Carolina to Nevada, these bills under consideration truly will hurt jobs, growth and the economic vibrancy of parts of the country where a 21st-century economy was once welcomed with open arms.

Do you work for Apple?
Yes, and the left goes bonkers about the top 3% owns 90% of the money, go figure... Hyprocisy of it all.
Western corporations and the US gov. are pushing homosexuality down the throats of the whole world; not just the US. Disgusting.
De gustibus non disputandum est, which is why you look awful silly calling CFA a “crap product.”
10,000,000 rednecks disagree with you. They keep CFA going. So [insert raspberry here].
Personally, I think the sandwich of itself is a bit dry, and the fries of themselves a bit bland. That is why the good Lord provided these wondrous things called mayonnaise and mustard. And another called ketchup. All provided in as many packets as you wish to grab there. It is called freedom of choice.
I will never buy another CRApple product!!! Apple stinks to the high heavens
You’ve already gotten that answer many times before, as you’ve been on several Apple threads, as an APPLE-HATER CULT member, where I have personally answered that. Since you know that, from the many threads you’ve been on before, where you’ve been a TROLL ... you’re once again doing that here.
For those who haven’t been on the Apple threads before (and there are hundreds of Freepers who are members of the Apple ping list, who regularly get pings related to their Apple products) ... the answer is no, I don’t work for Apple, have never worked for Apple, have never worked for a company who works for Apple, have never done advertising through an advertising agency that Apple has — and have ONLY been a customer who buys the BEST PRODUCTS around, and that happens to be Apple Products.
I know what are crap products and what are the best products and Apple meets that in the Free Enterprise marketplace, as can be seen by the humongous sales that Apple does in the USA with their products.
As for you, being the same APPLE HATER TROLL that you’ve always been ... GET LOST!
The One World Government will have Apple as its sole supplier (duck’n & runn’n)
For someone who has been posting for over a decade that Apple is about to go bankrupt in another month, another half-year or another year ... you don’t meet the criteria of an Apple Customer ... LOL ...
It’s like me saying that I’ll never buy a Schlitz Beer, when I have never bought one in the first place ... :-) ...
Not used to letting anyone else have an opinion, are you?
The one-world government that I talk about, will be put into place by the Messiah of Israel, and will be a top-down and very authoritarian government, in which the Messiah of Israel will rule with a “rod of iron” and many people who are here right now will ABHOR it! But, that’s what it will be like. AND ... he will get rid of the US Constitution, too (which many will not like) and there will be VERY INTRUSIVE GUN CONTROL, namely not even allowing ANY GUNS at all!!
As far as computers are concerned, I don’t even know if they will exist at that time. That’s an unknown factor!
As an APPLE-HATER TROLL, you’re a useless human being!
I do admit, Chick fil LA chicken around, expensive yes.
What happen to the chicken that crossed the road ? Chick File la !
Oh surely if Apple is the best it will not be shunned, no indeed in spite of the wallowings of the people who put it out!
Well, that kinda means that we didn’t spend enough! Let that be a lesson for the next time. We need to donate more money the next time around!
I fully support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and am super-glad he is Prime Minister of Israel. I support him in all his policies and his actions, as I think he’s the best Prime Minister Israel can have right now!\
SO ... we need to keep supporting him strongly, and apparently that means (by what you’re showing) ... we need to do so with MORE MONEY!!
There might not even BE a “United States.” There’s nothing in scripture to suggest it. Coastlands is as close as it comes.
It’s as clear as day that this country was founded upon the firm bedrock of Biblical principles. For more than a century and a half, everyone understood that. The “progressive era” of the late 1800s and early 1900s started us down the road toward secularization. In the 1960s and 1970s we reached a level of depravity unseen in Christendom prior to that point. It’s well past time to reclaim America for Christ and return to our roots.
Yep.
My earlier comment has to do with Obama. Tim Cook would support Hitler if he had come out of the closet.
I’m talking about the technology of computers ... they may not be around at that time, period! We’re talking about a THEOCRACY here, ruling over all the governments of the world, and cancelling all their own governmental-ruling-documents, when the Messiah of Israel comes back to earth.
And ... we’re not talking about something in the next century or whatever, but within a short period of time (relatively speaking, in relation to governments) ... because the Messiah of Issrael comes back when the political and world political and military environment is on the verge of destroying Israel. That is starting to take place right now, and thus shows that we’re not far away from that outcome. That outcome will be blocked and overthrown by the Messiah of Israel when he returns!
