SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple Inc. has joined the short list of publicly traded companies to oppose a ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage in California.
The Cupertino-based computer and iPod maker said on its website Friday it made a $100,000 pledge to defeat Proposition 8.
The statement says Apple views the initiative as a civil rights issue. An Apple spokesman declined to elaborate.
Jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. gave $25,000 last month to fight the initiative.
Same-sex marriage became legal in California in June.
 "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jud 1:7
