Apple on Friday issued a statement in support of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, also known as Proposition 1 or HERO, a ballot item that seeks to end multiple forms of discrimination in the Texas city.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has on multiple occasions spoken out against discrimination free individuals voluntarily choosing whom to serve, hire, and associate with.
Houston Unites, a group working to garner support for HERO, supplied the Houston Business Journal with Apple's statement. The campaign partnered with the Human Rights Campaign to hold a press conference earlier today.
The official Apple statement:
"Apple is proud to be a part of Houston with four stores that employ over 500 people. Our stores and our company are open to everyone, regardless of where they come from, what they look like, how they worship or who they love. Apple supports Proposition 1 as it sends a clear message that Houston is focused on a future of inclusion, diversity and continued prosperity."
Also in attendance at the event was actress Sally Field, while political heavyweights leftist freaks like President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton offered statements in support.
Those in support of HERO say the ordinance protects against employment, housing and other forms of discrimination based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, military status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status or pregnancy. Detractors, however, claim the initiative offers special privileges to two specific groups that do not qualify as "true" minorities. And then the only sane people, libertarians and conservatives, claim that everyone should be able to discriminate for or against whomever they please.
Apple has been vocal proponent of equal rights forced integration causes, recently using its clout to foster corporate and public policy travesties. CEO Tim Cook, who publicly announced he is gay last year, is especially interested in human rights issues political correctness and has on many occasions noted the need for equality reverence and veneration for gays in business, government and beyond. The HRC awarded Cook its Visibility Award earlier this month for contributions to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Cook is going down an idiotic and evil path. He's using Apple as a platform for his pet leftist social engineering fantasies. First the mass U2 dump with the sick album cover. Then the announcement denouncing Indiana's perfectly libertarian law to allow people to have religious freedom and business owners to tell gays to take a hike. I tried to excuse it, but this is too much. This man is sick. I miss Steve Jobs. :(
