- MondoPest, on 10/24/2008, -60/+733Good for them, way to stand for civil liberties Apple!
- Shiftgood, on 10/24/2008, -13/+434Saw it comin....
http://www.wardrivingonline.com/site/pictures/appl ... - halfwayentropy, on 10/24/2008, -64/+453Think different, bigots.
- inactive, on 10/24/2008, -14/+279Gay people need to quit being protected from the horrors of marriage.
- gnomead, on 10/24/2008, -26/+209I rarely have a good thing to say about Apple, but with this I'm impressed. Bravo, Apple.
- ricky125, on 10/24/2008, -9/+154churches do not have voter registration cards.
They have no need to tell us what they think.
Besides, I'm guessing they have parishioners that disagree. - freshyill, on 10/24/2008, -23/+150Do you know who's funding the other side? The Mormon Church. They're pumping their money into California for this. We don't need them trying to impose their religion on a bunch of peaceful people in another state. Letting gays get married hurts NOBODY.
- kaniz, on 10/24/2008, -6/+111And I'm guessing that there are also employees at Google/Apple are gay, and are happy to see their company standing up for them.
- ThermiteTerrace, on 10/24/2008, -15/+117Right,...it should just be "marriage", gay or straight.
- enderklein, on 10/24/2008, -11/+112They want committed monogamous relationships recognized by a state, what are they nuts?
- rhythm7a, on 10/24/2008, -22/+117I'm not a big fan of Apple, but I'm very glad to see them do this. The right wing Christian hatred needs to be stamped out all over the country. They need to go back to their churches and stop trying to take over our government.
- enderklein, on 10/24/2008, -6/+100Of course... remember the pre-1997 apple logo?
- sims89, on 10/24/2008, -18/+109Oh really? Is that how it works? I always thought endorsements from newspapers, magazines, companies, etc meant that EVERYONE agrees.
Good for Apple to speak out. - rz8472, on 10/24/2008, -3/+81It's good to see Google and Apple take a stand on an issue that doesn't directly affect their bottom line. Hopefully some of that money will be used to counteract the millions of $ that the Mormon Church is putting into the Yes on 8 campaign (the LDS church is funding 40% of the entire campaign).
- turpenine, on 10/24/2008, -7/+82considering the progressive nature of apple and the fact it is supported so heavily by the design and artist community i would think more people would be proud than offended within the mac user base.
- binchaud, on 10/24/2008, -30/+104*Insert Adam biting Adam's Apple joke here*
In other news, please vote No on 8.
Regardless of your stance on homosexuality, the government should not treat individuals differently. - inactive, on 10/24/2008, -23/+94Except when it comes to sweatshops/their bottom line
- Darkhacker, on 10/24/2008, -4/+72"I honestly don't know why some people become homosexual"
It was a lifestyle choice I made because I hate god and want to destroy traditional family values. - pinacoleyada, on 10/24/2008, -24/+92Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Jimbob200, on 10/24/2008, -6/+74YOU have a voter registration card, and *I* don't care what you think.
- TheR3dMenace, on 10/24/2008, -4/+72Poorly Worded Headline
- Quenlin, on 10/24/2008, -18/+79Two of the largest companies in the world are for gay marriage. Let's see how that goes.
- lydecker, on 10/24/2008, -1/+61I think he was insinuating that this would be apples mock slogan... As in, "We support gay marriage, and bigots should think differently."
- MattB123, on 10/24/2008, -0/+59Who is forcing it into churches?
- binchaud, on 10/24/2008, -12/+61LMAO It's funny that you're a stereotyping bigot!
- akshay626, on 10/24/2008, -1/+46Microsoft isn't a California company.
- freshyill, on 10/24/2008, -1/+45This is one of those great threads that helps me figure out who I need to block. Please, more anti-gay comments. I need to block you.
- turpenine, on 10/24/2008, -0/+44thought this was gonna be a gay steve on bill pic or something but i was totally blown away by its obviousness.
- Fracture98, on 10/24/2008, -1/+45I don't know about the laws, but they state in the article:
Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8"... - shadeOfGrey, on 10/24/2008, -4/+46You can call it whatever you want. YOU don't have to call it marriage. But the rest of us will.
- jplevel, on 10/24/2008, -0/+41a "no" on a 8 means yes to gay marriage..
- enderklein, on 10/24/2008, -1/+41I find it troubling that you would compare rights between two consenting adults to an obscure sexual fetish.
- damonic, on 10/24/2008, -0/+40They are contributing to a PR campaign against Prop 8. They are not contributing to a candidate.
- ThermiteTerrace, on 10/24/2008, -7/+47Amen.
- socalftw, on 10/24/2008, -7/+46I live in Cali and the ***** up thing is that these religious ***** are pushing it as "Vote Yes on Prop 8 to stop gay marriage from being taught in schools." (That's what they say on their radio and TV campaign commercials). Obviously a flat out lie in an attempt to get uniformed voters to vote yes on it. Gay marriage will never be taught in California public schools. These religious ***** will resort to anything to push their agenda... and their supposed to be righteous and holy and whatever... they're just scum.
- Knowltey, on 10/24/2008, -3/+41I'm gay, but I don't use Mac
- gnomead, on 10/24/2008, -1/+39Tax benefits and spouses rights. They don't have the same rights when one of them is hospitalized. Or when one of them dies, they cannot leave their assets to their partner without the government taking away half of it. Not being married is expensive.
- NSResponder, on 10/24/2008, -0/+35They've taken a stand on issues like this before. When they built their offices in Austin, the county where they had originally intended to locate objected to Apple's domestic-partner benefits, so they moved one county over. The bigots in the first county don't get Apple's tax dollars.
-jcr - digitalpencil, on 10/24/2008, -1/+36>>> whoosh!!!
- darkknight1974, on 10/24/2008, -23/+58Another reason for me to go buy an Apple product.
- inactive, on 10/24/2008, -6/+41If you have a fundamental problem with gay marriage, then you have a fundamental problem with reality.
- MacParrot, on 10/24/2008, -13/+47Vote NO on denying the banned referendum on stopping the vote for delaying the immediate suppression on being unclear! Your vote COUNTS! Who's with me on this!
- orph3us, on 10/24/2008, -8/+41Sorry to comment jack, but I think its important to note that The Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) are helping fund this proposition all the way from Utah. I think that is despicable. Really evil or ignorant, I'm not sure which. If you needed a (another) reason to dislike organized religion..... ugh.... wtf is wrong with the world?
- ncc74656m, on 10/24/2008, -16/+49I'm proud to own an iPod!
- inactive, on 10/24/2008, -1/+33They should have the right to suffer like the rest of us.
- osirisothedead, on 10/24/2008, -5/+37When plural marriage was the norm a millennium ago, your so-called "normal" people in "normal" marriages would not have been "normal". Words evolve in meaning. Deal with it.
- bbqsalad, on 10/24/2008, -15/+47you're also retarded.
- Jimbob200, on 10/24/2008, -1/+33He just meant that in general.
- inactive, on 10/24/2008, -34/+65Here's the post on the OFFICIAL Google blog
