    46 KB Apple Publicly Opposes California Proposed Ban on Same Sex Marriage Anonymous 10/26/08(Sun)04:20 No.2538229  
    Apple has publicly posted in their HotNews feed that they are opposing a proposal (Proposition 8) that seeks to eliminate the right to same-sex marriage in the state of California. Apple has also donated $100,000 to the "No to 8" campaign:
    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.

    That is why Apple is the best and deserves everything they charge for their products.

    This was news two days ago. When we had three threads at the same time for more than twelve hours in here.

    It seemed a lot of people were not aware, but here goes:

    Alan Turing, the Brit who invented computing and the machine that cracked the German Nazi codes in WW2 was gay. They found out in 1952 and charged him for public indecency (same as they had done for Oscar Wilde) and gave him two options, go to jail or chemicals. Chemicals effectively castrated him. Two years later he injected cyanide in an apple and committed suicide. They found his body with the bitten apple next to it, which is Apple's symbol. This is also why you see some ultra religious guys claim computers are evil because a homosexual invented them, which is flat out wrong as he had nothing to do with computers themselves, he invented computing, a different thing.

    Anyhow, that's it.

    What's an urban legend here?

    Apple did officially opposed the proposition and apple's symbol is based on the apple that killed the person who invented computing. For the record, google opposes the proposition as well.

    I remember back in the day, staying home from school and watching Call for Help on Tech TV ( 'cause TSS wasn't on ).

    I remember the guy that had Mac tips. He was a flaming faggot, I mean, he was so gay, you could practically see tanlines on his face from where someone's balls rested...

    From that point on I've associated Macs with fags. This doesn't help.

    Just a protip for anyone considering the "macho" factor in their next computer purchase.

    he Apple I was sold as a motherboard (with CPU, RAM, and basic textual-video chips)—less than what is today considered a complete personal computer.[15] The Apple I went on sale in July 1976 and was market-priced at US$666.66.

    I don't care if fags want the same rights as straight people while in a relationship, but why do they do shit like refuse offers of civil partnerships?

    Because they aren't equal. They are an explicitly seperate and lesser legal construct.

    Apple are faggots who can't tell the difference between a civil rights and a political issue.

    Marriage is no more a right than sex, and we don't exactly let people do that with what/whomever they please.

    Not that I have a problem with but buddies making their relationship "official", or seeking the same benefits that married couples currently enjoy, that's their prerogative, and legitimate self-interest.

    However, to call this a civil rights issue is simply an attempt to drag up shit like apartheid in people's minds and brainwash them into following you, because nothing done in the name of "civil rights" should ever be opposed by any right-thinking person, right?

    tl;dr: I don't care if gays want to marry, just don't turn civil rights into a fucking emotive buzzword.

    But it is, it's called equal protection under the law. And a segment of society is trying to deny equal rights to another.

    But /g/ has always subtly been full of bigots. They just express it via Apple threads where it's all mistaken for a joke.

    What if someone is a pedophile?
    Why shouldn't he be able to marry 10-yr old?
    It's natural unlike fagfaggotry.

    A lot of you are forgetting what actually happened here and what this is really about.

    A while back, California had a vote on whether to allow gay marriage or not. The result was that gay marriage was not allowed, but later some judges were like "naww dawg, fuck dat, we be passin it anyways" and allowed gay marriage.

    Basically all this is doing is saying "ya dawg, you did shit wrong, you gotta fix it nao"

    You don't seem to get it. You can't discriminate for ANYTHING under corporeal law. You can't even make separate forms of marriage for different people. If half of the population were sentient robots, we wouldn't be making different kinds of marriage laws for them.

    This is government, not religion. The two should have no place in each other's houses.

    Really? You mean I can marry another man, because I'm straight? And gay men can't?

    No?

    Then it's not an issue of anyone being unequal, it's the definition of marriage not suiting the preferences of a minority group.

    Just because a minority isn't getting what they want, it doesn't make them unequal.

    Again, stop turning important shit into emotive buzzwords to get your own way.

    >>2540056
    Current argument states that a 10 year old cannot consent to a legally binding contract, and therefore cannot marry.
    I am unsure whether they could do so with their parent's consent.

    >>2540083
    You don't have children of your own either, unless you raped someone. Enoy your ronery.
