Apparently "think different" is a one-way view these days.

In any case this is not a case of discrimination as much as it is a case of poor screening and hiring. For a lobbyist position (a face and a voice of a company towards legislators) Apple should have vetoed him based on possible conflicts of interest with company policies and social stance.

Yeah, that outcome isn't really surprising at all. I'm sure he'll have no trouble finding work though. Lots of anti-gay (usually thinly veiled with "pro-religion") companies still plague the US.

Maybe Hobby Lobby needs a lobbyist? :)

If he didn't take the job too seriously he could be a hobby lobbyist.

I do not understand why so much noise with people believes. I am open to work with everyone as long as their intimate convictions doesn't harm our work.

Are you anti-gay marriage (or just anti-gay)? Nice, I am not but I respect. We can talk about it in our spare time. Anti-abortist? Liberal? Conservative? Communist? Anti-white people? The same.
