Mac is P.C: Visionary company opposes myopic measure

by Jeremy Hooper

An Apple-employed reader just sent forth this very welcome development from the Land of Steve Jobs:

No on Prop 8

October 24, 2008



Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.

Yay! First Google, now Apple. Hell, if only Ketel One vodka would step up to the plate, then all of our life bloods would be on board!

Though don't think the pro-Prop 8 side is going to take this techno-shutout out lying down. In a move befitting the state of progression that surrounds their views, we hear the anti-gay side is trying even as we speak to shore up the backing of the folks behind this revolutionary piece of machinery:

Here's just hoping their campaign is as big of a "floppy" as the one that made this beast of a desktop run "Frogger."

No on Prop 8 [Apple]
