“Discrimination isn’t something that’s easy to oppose. It doesn’t always stare you in the face. It moves in the shadows. And sometimes it shrouds itself within the very laws meant to protect us.”
— Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a Washington Post op-ed posted Sunday night opposing so-called “religious freedom” laws popping up around the country. Laws that could be used to discriminate, such as ones passed by Indiana and Arkansas, are “dangerous,” Cook wrote, and bad for business. “We strive to do business in a way that is just and fair,” Cook wrote. “That’s why, on behalf of Apple, I’m standing up to oppose this new wave of legislation — wherever it emerges.”
