Because it’s not really about sex. When you see a man and woman walk down the street holding hands are they flaunting their sexual activities? No. It’s romance, family, relationships, life.

Tim Crook seems to have forgot Apple is a technology company.
This mentality is ... bizarre.
Supporting a cause of an underrepresented, and historically abused and persecuted class is not some slight or attack against people who they don't have watch faces for. Flipping around support of Pride as some form of divisiveness against you is just not cool and ony further evidences WHY more messaging for pride is still relevant in 2019
Only seems to go one way doesn't it?
There wouldn’t be so much touting if there wasn’t so much public resistance.
I do not like when companies become political and so on, but it's certainly their right to do so, and it's our right to buy from them or not. People should stop looking at companies as if buying one of their products will make us/society become one way or another. A Starbucks cup ain't going to make me gay exactly as a Chick-Fil-A ain't going to make me a pious Christian. I just enjoy the coffee, and the chicken sandwich.
Some of you guys would be a lot happier if you didn't let how other people live their lives bother you.
I'm probably older than you since you couldn't guess my age based on my avatar. ;-)
I was curious about why this went into the political section... but.. oh
It does suck though when one of the best chicken sandwiches around is sold by a company who participates in such bigotry though.
but it's the free market. While I disagree with their position / stance. it's up to us, the consumer to decide if they should be punished for it by shopping or not shopping.
However, Even if it's our right to shop or not based on hate/bigotrious (is that even a word?) reasons. Doesn't mean those reason are any less repugnant for their thoughts.
What does Apple have against analog watch faces with numerals on them?! I struggle to tell the time with the newly released fire and water faces, and I expect these to be the same. Which is a shame.
Would love the option to add numbers, like Utility and Chronograph (I don't count Hermes, as it's not standard!)

I don’t agree with the suggestion that religion and pride are different ways.
These new faces don't do anything for me please try again Apple.
Exactly. If you can't see a gay person (or gay couple) without your mind jumping to their sex life, that's not on the person/people—that's on you. Let gay people be proud of who they are just as the straights have for ages.
lol, we are in the USA. It's funny how liberals think we have it so bad here, but completely ignore what muslim countries do to gays in the Middle East.
Because doing this is a political statement on Apple's part. I cynical enough to think they are doing it for financial reasons rather than some of the social justice reasons other seem to believe, but to each his own.
Yeah, it might suck, as for other people what Starbucks/Nike/Apple does suck. That's why I do not care about their political stance, as long as they keep it legal. I buy their product, not their ideology as worthy or as horrible it might be. The fact is that companies have found that in 201x politics sells, A LOT.
Exactly... but come on... you want that chicken sandwich... extra crispy... waiting for you... it's just calling your name...
And that's a personal evaluation.
Keep adding watch faces that the vast majority of us will never use. Waaaay better than allowing developers to make new watch faces.
They are thick because the pictures you are looking at are 3 times as bigger of an actual Watch.
It's not about telling people how do you like to have sex, it's about putting on display who you are because a part of society would like for you to leave your life hidden in shame, deny you basic right and other things that in 2019 one expects anyone with a couple of working brain cell to understand easily.
Are you a real believer or just a troll? Because religious are an idea so shallow and disrespectful when it comes to the feeling of faith that I can't believe an actual religious person would ask for them...but maybe you are American and I wouldn't be surprised if some of you had a McDonaldised idea of faith and still think themselves believers. After all I understand you have christians that support death penalty, weapons and racism, all things for which Jesus would roll over in his grave were he not risen.
Just because XYZ country is better or worse than us does not mean we cannot strive to improve. Having family and friends that have been treated poorly and bullied due to being gay, I am glad a company like Apple stands behind them and their freedom to express themselves. It's getting better in this country, but we have a long way to go.
I get more crap for being a Trump supporter than I do for being gay.
