I strongly disagree with Tim Cook on this issue, nor do I approve of his public airing of his lifestyle. It is also a poor management choice of his having Apple get more involved in political and social issues. Steve Jobs assiduously avoided having Apple as a company getting involved in political and social entanglements because, as he said when pressed by a Democratic activist, "Half of Apple's customers are Republicans and we should never alienate half of our customer base!"
Jobs was much wiser than Cook in this area.
