Apple Pledges $100K In Calif. Gay Marriage Fight

CUPERTINO (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 Web site 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.
