You mean not all lesbians are Swedish twins?
It’s nice to annoy the bigots though. Remind them their world is not as small and simple as they’d like it to be.
I'd love a follow up on that 1955 hypothesis to see just how many of those children actually ended up gay because of Batman.
I don’t mind Tim and his colleagues do the Pride thing.
Think it only do good for them, and everyone else.
Personally I don’t enjoy to walk in any kind of marches.
But that’s just me. I fullhearted support those who enjoy it.
I just don’t like being in big crowds, no matter the purpose.
Don’t think this takes time from the products and the software evolvelments.
But I do think there might be a focus on some wrong things in Apple today.
Not neccessarly the Pride thing though.

Before the LGBTQ propaganda, it was illegal for men to be gay in most places. I wonder why they wouldn't identify themselves?

The top brands pretty much share similar stances on this event.
Just to confirm, you support the arrest and imprisonment and even legalized murder of gays, lesbian and transgender people?
Reading this thread is like reading the alt right cry babies on YouTube, melting down over "forced diversity" in Star Wars. Look, there's no "forced diversity" agenda. Nobody is shoving "gay life" down your throats. OK, sure, on some college campuses, so-called SJWs have clearly gone too far in terms of their "no platforming" strategies. But thats a small group of very young college activists. What Apple are doing here is simply celebrating within public space the fact that we've made such progress, for gay people: remember, not long ago a *very real* "forced agenda" prohibited their very right to exist! So lets keep it in perspective, please! As for Star Wars, well, despite the fact that "snow flake" is often used to describe those on the left, I think its becoming increasingly clear who the real snowflakes are.
By the way, I might add: absolutely shocking to see so many of commentators here are taking this stupid line of "wish Apple had more pride in their products." Honestly, log off, turn off your screens, and get out of your basements, people. Its obvious what you're really saying. You are belittling the very real struggle of LGBTQ folk, even today, in a society that heaps violence, murder and the vilest stereotypes upon them. There are many things about life in a diverse society that can be debated, politely and in good faith. But whatever about Apple as a company (yes, they should pay Ireland the taxes they owe), or their products (yes, they could be better sometimes -- but have you tried an Android phone?), this participation in pride is a very good thing, and we should applaud it. Regardless of anything else.

Does this mean that Republicans won't use Apple products anymore?
yeah you're right, I'm sorry.
so what? you can just sell stock. There's religious agenda on things far worse than smartphone companies.
and even then, this is not political/religious agenda. Maybe social agenda, but arguably, apple has *a lot* to do with society and social lately.
can you please tell me what the heck is supposed to be the motive behind that? I just understand why would someone want to make people gay.
Gender-neutral is normal, because young open minded individuals dont want to identify as stereotypical males for females, as in, their constructed roles (manly man and housewife)
As far as back as I can remember, Tomboys were seen as perfectly normal. "Oh, she's just a Tomboy" would be the phrase used.
Odd how we never had issues with gender fluidity when it came to Tomboys...

Nope, but it seems she committed theft of US state owned property, so I doubt she is a trustworthy character.
Not really, but I support the fact that marriage is a union between a man and a woman

Yet you said that your like how they do pride in Chechnya. Why did you say that? You realize now the error of your post?

You don’t have to disrespect or being unsupporting of other people’s choices and lifestyles.
You can still be extremely supporting even for the heterosexual lifestyle, if that's your choice.
Drop the disrespect and hate and be a HUMAN first.
Your comments just say that you're not.
You're only a sexual being, where only your sexuality is right.
To me that is mindless and soulless.

They do not allow marriages other than man and woman, as it should be. Also like Russia a lot in this case.
Being gay is not a way of being, as in a choice.
Thats rubbish. It was not acceptable in the past to be out. That has changed. People have been gay all through history, many probably forced into straight relationships or were single due to society.

Is that the version of marriage where a woman becomes a man's property? Or the marriage where certain states didn't allow interracial marriage? Or the one where you had a wife and a concubine?
The main message of the brand is still "Show me the money".
They also arrest and MURDER gays and lesbians. You OK with that? Russian imprisons gays and lesbians as a matter of course.
You seem to be thoroughly happy with this - and that's real scary...
