Tim Cook 'disappointed' by new Indiana law allowing companies to discriminate against gay customers

Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that he is "deeply disappointed" by the new law passed in the US state of Indiana which could allow companies to discriminate against gay and lesbian customers.

According to BBC, Governor Mike Pence signed a bill on Thursday that stops the state from restricting a person's ability to exercise their religion.

Cook said in a tweet that his company Apple was open for everyone.

Cook, who recently revealed his sexuality saying that he was "proud to be gay", added in another tweet that people around the world strive to treat all customers equally irrespective of where they come from or who they love or worship.
