Apple stands up against Discrimination

A week ago, I bought a MacBook to replace my crashed PC laptop. I managed to revive my PC but decided to keep my Mac anyway. After all, this Mac is a marvel. I knew I made the right choice when Apple publicly announced a few days later that it supports NO on Prop 8, a proposition that will write discrimination into the California constitution to ban marriage for same-sex couple. Here's the statement on Apple's website:

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.

Don't be complacent on Prop 8



The polls are showing that we may lose this once in a life time chance to make gay marriage permanently legal in California. Whether you live in California or not, eliminating gay marriage will be a huge step backward for the entire country. Please join me in turning the tide and donate or volunteer to the VOTE NO Campaign. We are way behind in fund raising and our opponent's relentless assaults on the airwaves are gaining momentum. Let's make a difference while we still can. Of course, if you are an American citizen, register to vote NO on Prop 8. Let's make history and say NO to the hate campaign.

Nobody should tell anyone if they can marry. Do not allow them to write discrimination into our constitution.

Donate, Volunteer and Vote (Registered Californian)!

No On Prop 8
