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.
