I was wrong

I should have known better than to put my trust in any organization other than the Church of Jesus Christ. I was saddened and hurt by this statement that I read today at apple.com:

No on Prop 8

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.

I have been a loyal Mac Addict for years, and it pains me to the core to see a company that is in so many ways superior to the competition blunder into the political arena and on the wrong side to boot. I am now torn with indecision. Burning questions torture my brain.

Who is the press release quoting?

How does Prop 8 affect someone's right to marry? (A gay guy could still get married, just not to another guy.)

Would I be supporting gay marriage by buying Apple products in the future?

Have I already financed gay marriage with my past Apple purchases?

Is Windoze still the "dark side?"

Should I join the dark side and use a PC? (Not likely.)

Is there any guarantee that the company from which I purchase computers (or any other good or service) in the future won't also break my heart and undercut my confidence?

Perhaps most important:

What else should I have expected from a company who's logo was originally a rainbow-colored apple?

Apple
Marry different.
