Being homophobic is one thing, but trying to hide your obvious homophobia behind a set of weak reasons is gutless. People like you are why there are pride parades.
I disagree. Apple has always been involved in the humanities, this is one example. This gesture is also in support of LGBT community and employees everywhere, not just Apple. It's comments and attitudes like yours is why Pride exists....Try walking in our shoes. Lose the hate.
I wonder why any gay people would down vote post #20?
Do they not support that Gay Pride event and do they not support all Gays? Are they homophobes or something? Or do they only support gays of a particular political persuasion? That would be pretty ironic.
Who needs new Macs when you can get rainbow colored watch bands.
Give me wit and sarcasm, said no one ever...
I'm sorry I think it's silly. Apple employees that choose to participate in Pride events get a special t-shirt. Does there really need to be more than that?
You know, I'm all for equal treatment, in theory and in practice. My only problem is the appropriation of the rainbow, which now is practically synonymous with the LGBT community - it's not an accurate representation of their credo. Too bad LGBT rights activists only regard a few shades of the full color spectrum.
Maybe Apple should just bring back the old logo now...
Yes, yes, pile the "dislikes" on. It only proves the point.
Yo Apple, where is my special made, limited edition, straight-white-male-awesome-hetero watch band?
Maybe they can give some out at the next hetero parade that's taking place, if such a thing even exists.
I can just see it, 5 years from now, Tim Cook will be standing on stage, and he'll be announcing the latest iPhone.
"We at Apple are pleased to introduce our latest iPhone, and we regret to inform you that it will no longer be available in Space Grey! It will only come in Rainbow Gay! No gold, or pink gold or silver either. They're all history as of this moment. "
When it comes to politics and Apple, less is better. And that goes for all corporations.
when you get physically attacked/raped/abused/sent to "correctional therapy"/threatened/abandoned for being straight let me know. I don't know why you have such a problem with people celebrating something they fought hard to be able to express
You forgot to add BANNED, FLOGGED, LASHED, TORTURED, STONED, SHOT, THROWN FROM ROOFS, HANGED.
And the word ISLAM.
Bankrolling Milo Yiannopoulos for President: that's what I'd like to see Apple do.

I think they open every NASCAR event with the parade you long for.

It's hard to be heard from deep in the closet, therefore they must protest loudly and often.

And actually, that wasn't Apple's original logo. It was the second one.
One thing for sure, when people truly don't like something (like, er, gay people) they tend not to discuss it.
Otherwise they place themselves in a position whereby other people wonder exactly why they're so obsessed with the subject in the first place.
Repressed, have you heard of it?
