Tim Cook disappointed by new company law against gays
London: Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that he is "deeply disappointed" by the new law passed in the US state of Indiana, which could allow companies to discriminate against gay and lesbian customers.
According to BBC, Governor Mike Pence signed a bill on Thursday that stops the state from restricting a person's ability to exercise their religion.
Cook said in a tweet that his company Apple was open for everyone.
Apple is open for everyone. We are deeply disappointed in Indiana's new law and calling on Arkansas Gov. to veto the similar #HB1228.

Around the world, we strive to treat every customer the same — regardless of where they come from, how they worship or who they love.
