    Former Apple employee (retail, then corporate). I’m shocked that Tim Cook, an out gay man, would allow such a move. Texas is a hellhole. This is bullshit. Fuck Apple for this one.

      You think Tim Cook, billionaire CEO of a wildly anti-consumer company, gives a shit about anyone but himself?

      I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

      I’ve met multiple out gay people who aren’t LGBT friendly (or, more commonly, aren’t ‘BT’ friendly) even without the profit motive of being a piece of shit like Tim Cook has.

      Being LGBT certainly makes you more likely to take progressive attitudes, but it far from guarantees it.

      A capitalist is a capitalist first, a capitalist second, a capitalist third, and then everything else he is after that. He’d sell the blood of his fellow queers if he thought he could turn a profit.

      Tim Cook will never have to live in that fascist state, he only has to donate to watch others suffer from the safety of his Palo Alto home where his rights are respected.
