Tim Cook is gay.  If this were 1968, this would be like a Black CEO raising money for George Wallace, brushing it off by saying, "Well, at least he'll lower my taxes."

Ryan's record on gay issues and Civil Rights,  is well known and is, at best, mixed.  While Cook may be able to justify supporting Ryan with his own conscience, he needs to explain that support to the LGBT and other minority employees and customers of Apple, which touts itself as a progressive, LGBT friendly company.

The subtle - and not so subtle - rhetoric by Ryan has created a climate that has resulted in a marked increase in violence against LGBTs.

At some point, Apple's rhetoric on equality has to match its actions.  After Orlando, I have absolutely no patience for anyone that talks out of both sides of their mouth about LGBT rights or the ability of LGBTs to simply exist without being publicly demonized.
