My gut reaction? Apple donated the money (and then put it on their front page, for all to see) for the same reason they talk about how environmental all their products are, and for the same reason IKEA goes out of their way to include same-sex couples in their catalogs and advertising, and the same reason Volvo creates edgy ads just for the GBLT magazines. It's an image thing.

I'm still glad they did it, mind. But for those of you who are wondering why it was done with Apple's (and not Jobs's) money, well, there you go. It's essentially a big "Apple cares!" to the GBLT community.

For people who disagree with it: their logo is a rainbow fruit. Come on.

And yes, I did say GBLT. I know the traditional abbreviations are LGBT or GLBT. It's an old in-joke-turned-habit.
