“Apple was out in force yesterday as Tim Cook and 8,000 Apple employees participated in Sunday’s 43rd Annual Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco,” Luke Dormehl reports for Cult of Mac.
“Apple employees carried LGBT rainbow flags as they took to the streets — considerably outnumbering the hundreds of employees from other tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Uber, and others,” Dormehl reports. “‘Great to celebrate with over 8,000 Apple employees, friends and families. Happy Pride everyone!’ Tim Cook tweeted, adding the hashtag #applepride.”
Dormehl reports, “Last week it was announced that Apple’s ResearchKit will power the world’s largest medical research project into the health needs of the LGBT population.”
