In WSJ op-ed, Apple CEO Tim Cook argues for LGBT rights in the workplace

Apple's CEO lobbies for the passage of a new US law to help ensure a "safe and welcoming workplace for all employees, regardless of their race, gender, nationality or sexual orientation," in a bold and unusual Wall Street Journal guest editorial. "So long as the law remains silent on the workplace rights of gay and lesbian Americans," writes Cook," We as a nation are effectively consenting to discrimination against them."
