Apple finally cached its voice today against the new bill passed in Mississippi in the USA. They said the new bill passed could bring more discrimination in the society. The house bill number 1253 was criticized for discriminating the LGBT community.
Apple joined hands with various giant companies for in anti‐support of the bill. In a statement released by a senior official of Apple, it was said that Apple believes at core that their stores are open for all the people regardless of the fact what god do they worship, what community do they belong to and what religious belief they have. Apple also cleared that the company as an entity supports similar stances as a code of conduct internally too. Apple has always been vocal about such in‐discrepancies.
Apple has been backed by companies including bigger names like HP, IBM, PayPal, etc. A year ago, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook wrote an open letter to Washington Post stating his views. He said that laws could be potentially dangerous as they divide us racially. Tim also expressed his views about equality for Gay rights. He said that, we should not be merely judgmental while accepting people. Every one of us has own right to live and LGBTS are a part of our society too.
We should not merely discriminate them on the basis of their life choices. Apple has always been intolerant about such issues. They have always backed their voice and raised an alarm against government for issues pertaining to equal rights.
Tim Says creating differences amongst LGBT in society is like a civil war and he strongly opposes such things. He and his company choose to stay unbiased and preferably against government and their law too for such causes.
