Apple takes stance on Proposition 8

I just noticed this on Apple's Hot News page:

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.
It's not often that I've seen companies publicly state their views on civil liberties issues!

Don't Mac users and gays alike each constitute about 5% of the population? One would expect Mac users to be less bigoted.

Go Apple!

I'm not entirely sure what I think about companies sponsoring political propositions, but I guess that's the capitalistic world. At least I find it's a good cause.
