The Apple CEO released a statement in support of marriage equality.

Down under, the Aussies are beginning to send in paper ballots to vote on what could be a historic legalization of same-sex marriage in the country. To aid in the years-long battle for equality, Cook released an official statement in support of the issue:
"We support marriage equality and believe all Australians deserve the freedom to marry the person they love, and to have their relationships recognized with the same dignity and legal protections as their neighbors, friends, and family."
