Most hetero people will never (thankfully) know that pitted feeling of having to check your surroundings and environment every single day when you simply want to hold your partners hand, chat to a coworker, book a hotel reservation, or book a night out to celebrate.

Every single macro outcome like this only demoralizes gay people just wanting to wake up and not think about anything other than the stresses and excitement of the day ahead.

If anyone reads this and you think it sounds dramatic, it’s not. It’s a reality, and Tim Cook knows that..he should do better.

You say that, but he's made billions by explicitly not doing better. And he's Wall Street's darling for it.

Tim Cook has no ability to change the Chinese government's policies.

    Untrue and defeatist. Tim Cook does influence Chinese policy, you can't pretend he's the victim here:

      EU: Tim Cook will *leave your economic zone* if you fraudulently label him as a monopolist, okay? If your government doesn't change, Apple won't bless your economy.

  China: There's just nothing we could do. When they asked to backdoor iCloud we couldn't make any demands from them. They constantly demand authoritarian control and *never* let us say a single word. We're being abused, someone help us!

      OK, honest question: did Tim Cook and Apple successfully get the EU to change a policy they didn't like?
