(Reuters) - Apple Inc's Tim Cook, one of the most prominent openly gay American CEOs, has joined fellow tech industry chiefs in decrying a controversial Indiana law that opponents say could allow companies to deny services to gay people.

Cook, who publicly declared his sexual orientation last year, joined other tech chief executives, including Salesforce.com Inc's Marc Benioff, in blasting the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which could let business and individuals turn away customers by citing "religious freedom."

Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the controversial bill into law on Thursday.

Apple has always targeted the gay and urbanite demographics. Tim Cook figures this will bolster Apples cool image for liberals and help sales. Plus he believes this anti-heterosexual propaganda. Pathetic, and one of the reasons I don’t buy any Apple products. Even on the mp3 level Sansa beats their over priced crap.

....decrying a controversial Indiana law....

What's the controversy?
IF the stupid fags will keep their mouths shut about sex nobody cares where they do business so long as they keep it to themselvers!
What do the fag idiots plan to do...walk into every store on main street hollering at the top of their lungs about being queer?
Idiots! The lot of them!

Queers - not gays - are a protected class of super citizens in the new America. What an awful shame that a wonderful word, gay, has been so corrupted. We had that so apt description of social deviants, queers, and somehow it disappeared from the current vernacular.

This law does nothing but insures that Christian and other business people are not sued by the gaystapo for not catering to their perverted matrimonies.

I bought my first iPhone a year ago. It will be my last.
I was going to get a Mac Pro due to its ability to run multiple operating systems simultaneously. Not going to happen.
