So... I have a serious question for all of those who do not agree with the so called "gay lifestyle", or "gay agenda", or that do not condone this announcement, or that find it reprehensible, unnatural, etc... or simply disagree with Tim's choices on moral or religious grounds:
What are you going to do about it?
Are you going to make a statement and stop buying Apple products now that Apple has come out as a pro-LBGT company? Are you going to defend your values in any meaningful way? Or are you just going to be hypocrites, complain about it, and just take it lying down? what about your morals and beliefs? aren't they more important that a simple gadget?
Because the way you express yourself - how passionate you feel about this, how sacred the roots of those beliefs are (it's the word of your god nonetheless!). You wouldn't even elect a congressperson if they remotely supported LGBT rights... so I would guess you are prepared to take some serious actions... are you not? or are you a bunch of lukewarms?
Because remember Revelation 3:15-16
How and when are you going to put your money where your mouth is?

He(?) is insinuating that the creation of the Hello Kitty! Beats is because all gay men are effeminate and like female things.
No it is not but when you are the CEO your responsibility is to the stock holders and not "so he can feel proud".
God makes people new each day. I see people's lives transformed by it, mine included, all the time. Whether you wish to see it as me reading a self-help book called the Bible or God actually working some invisible process in me or some peculiar combination of the two is where faith, reason and evidence meet. I am struck, however, how many of our world's problems would vanish if we held to the Scripture's doctrines on human sexuality: one man, one woman, working things out in love, for life.
Okay brah you're entitled to your own opinion. But I don't think he should control what he should say or how he should feel just because he needs to worry about what people thinks of him or what investors thinks of him.
I think this was a very smart move by Cook and will lead to even greater valuation of Apple on the world stage.
Proof is pending
Personally, I've seen enough to be convinced that he is real and that the Scripture is his Holy Word. We can go into details, but I really don't think anything will convince you at this stage.
I wouldn't say ban marriage, but I agree who you spend your life with should be a private matter.
Make it independent of the process that determines next of kin, significant other, the determination of family for issues like hospital visits, medical/legal decisions, etc, and most other legal requirements.
I'm perfectly fine with the separation of Church and State.
And 'traditional' marriage was a business deal with women being treated as property and having no say in the matter.
In the end, we both know that it is not about procreation. It is about gay people not getting married, and every argument, no matter how wrong or stupid, will be used.
If you take a heterosexual couple where the man is infertile, and a couple of two woman, and both couples want a child, they'll have to do the exact same thing to fulfil their wish. And they can do the exact same thing. But for some reason the gay couple with a baby is not supposed to get married.
Not 'heresy', 'hearsay'.
hear·say
ˈhirˌsā/
noun
noun: hearsay
information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor.
But, if you want to be technical with your misreading, the bible would be considered heresy by *any number* of other religions.
You don't know what hearsay means do you? By definition what I am saying CANNOT be hearsay. Look it up.

In that case, you should keep away from the drugs.
