California-based Apple Inc. is the latest business to endorse the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance.

In a statement Houston Unites sent exclusively to the Houston Business Journal, the company wrote: "Apple is proud to be a part of Houston with four stores that employ over 500 people. Our stores and our company are open to everyone, regardless of where they come from, what they look like, how they worship or who they love. Apple supports Proposition 1 as it sends a clear message that Houston is focused on a future of inclusion, diversity and continued prosperity.”

The statement comes on the same day that Houston Unites, a campaign working to pass Proposition 1, and the Human Rights Campaign held a press conference with Academy Award-winner Sally Field and others supporting HERO.

Also on Oct. 29, former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tweeted her support of the ordinance, and the White House issued a statement about HERO.

I was going to post this in GD, then I saw that Hillary was mentioned in the fourth paragraph.
