Apple is among 40 companies voicing opposition to recent bills introduced across the United States that target LGBTQ citizens. The businesses who signed the open letter, which was published today by the Human Rights Campaign, argue that these bills are bad for business.

Across the United States, more than one dozen bills have been introduced that would “affect the lives of LGBTQ employees.” The bills would attempt “to single out and target LGBTQ people for unfair and unequal treatment,” critics say.

The companies call on lawmakers to “abandon or oppose efforts to enact this type of discriminatory legislation and ensure fairness for all Americans.”

Apple has been very clear on its stance with regard to this issue.
