Apple Celebrates Pride in San Francisco Parade

I miss the days when Apple was about technology and computing. While I have all of the latest hardware by Apple, it's getting harder by the day to accept that I'm supporting a company that's more about non-related ideology than anything else.
While I don't much care for Windows, at least Microsoft's business model is more neutral and focussed on software and emerging technologies.

If you oppose gay rights you aren't thinking difference, you are thinking wrong. Go move to Iran or North Korea where that kind of backwards thinking is welcome.
Well you’ve only got another 51 in the year without. Sucks huh?
And I couldn't avoid the many straight couples holding hands, acting like couples etc over the past weekend at the shops either.
They are welcome to take whatever stance they want. We are welcome to complain about it. "Taste of their own medicine." Like threatening to cage the president's son with pedophiles, threatening to harass the president's son at school, throwing people out of restaurants, shouting them down while at restaurants, camping out at their homes at all hours of the day harassing their families, elected representations (Maxine Waters) encouraging the behavior...
I don't remember any right wingers doing that during the Obama admin. "Own medicine." Lol. You people are unhinged.
I'm not a hypocrite, it's just that you can't read or understand simple concepts. So I'll explain better.
I defend freedom of speech with clear limitations, so I want a relative one, not an absolute one. Which is always the only possibility. You are free to go wherever you want in your country but you must not violate private property. Does this make you not free? No, it makes you free within some limits.
If you tell people to kill all asians, you must be stopped. We can't defend an absolute freedom of speech since it could easily kill other people's freedom of speech. So we need a relative one, with the boundary of non-violence.
If there's no violence when you talk, say whatever you want, say two and two is five but get ready for the rest of the world to tell you how stupid that idea is.
...all of this in a public context. This site is held by people who own it. They are responsible for what you say and can decide that you're expressing an opinion that is too far from what they believe in.
A forum is like a wall in your house you ask random people to write what they think on. They can write but it's still your wall. If they write something you don't like, you can delete it. In this case, you're not free because you're not the owner of the forum but you're free to go away and write your opinion somewhere else. And, guess what, you can kick me out of your own forum if you don't like what I write.
Welcome to how the world works, call me if you need some other lessons.
You mean the behavior of 97% of the people on the planet?
If you don’t want to marry someone of the same sex, don’t. It’s that easy. I don’t see how two men/women getting married has any affect on your life.
It absolutely doesn't. But the left have moved far from "live and let live." We are told if you do not actively agree with the lifestyle, you are a bigot and a monster.
Bake the cake, bigot.

Bigoted? I see. Don't agree with the LGBQT agenda? You are a bigot. See, it's not enough to say "live and let live. Do what you want, but I don't agree with it." If you do that, you are a monster.
Bake the cake, bigot.
Well yes the innate behaviour due to their sexuality.
Just like the innate behaviour of my sexuality is to be attracted to the same sex.
It goes both ways doesn't it? Conservatives always think the happenings inside the uterus of a women they don't know is precisely their business.
Cute PR stunt as usual but let's get back to innovating and stuff that actually makes Apple great. Stomping around in the street based on your sexual preference is not going to fix the MacBook Pro keyboard, or boost processor speeds.
If Apple focused on technology more, I think we'd be less pissed off at Tim and more appreciative of what Apple has accomplished.

That's fine. Keep it to yourself. I don't to see PDA from hetrosexual people either.
So in other words, in your worldview, if someone discriminates against someone based on their gender or race, then they're neither sexist or racist?
I'd also be a bigot if I activity disagreed with your straight lifestyle.
Not really. That's a human life, so the woman's decision affects more than her.
But hey, if infanticide in the name of convenience is your thing, keep supporting the murder of children.
At least you are consistent. Am I allowed to walk around in public holding hands with my (hypothetical as I am single) same sex partner?
Also why must I keep it to myself? Should all couples pretend they aren't couples in public?
No, you would not be a bigot.
[doublepost=1529932746][/doublepost]
Sure. Hold hands. But I am not a captive audience. I am to some degree when I open the app store.
So does that mean if I discriminate against someone based on their race I am also not a racist?
If you refuse service to someone because of their race, yes, you are a racist.
Get with the program. Hetero couples can hold hands and display affection in public. Hot lesbian couples can, and are also encouraged to make out. Male couples should stay indoors.
You are if you see it.
What negative impact does seeing the banner in the App Store have on your life? I can tell you right now it has a hugely positive one for many other people.
[doublepost=1529932898][/doublepost]
Yep. The same if you refuse service to someone because of their sexuality.
[doublepost=1529932944][/doublepost]
Oh I forgot that little chestnut. Yeah, lgbt people suck except for hot lesbians making out.
This forum demonstrates it. If I say I disagree with the lifestyle and I would rather not see it, I am branded a bigot, Nazi, hater. You see, the right is not allowed to disagree. The right MUST, MUST, agree with encourage and participate, or else they are bigoted monsters.
I think it is fair to question Apple’s priorities as it relates to say......the Mac vs Mobile platforms. For example, some folks might want to see Apple focus more effort on a permante and reliable fix to their laptop keyboards. Fair game.
That said, it is really none of my business what a group of Apple employees and their CEO choose to do on a Sunday afternoon. If they wish to attend a pride parade, so be it. What people choose to do in their own time is their business.

Thats because it isn't a 'lifestyle'. 'Lifestyle' implies choice.
Its the same if I said I disapproved of people having a different race, and would rather not see people of that race, I would be a racist.
