While I am not surprised, the gays (as a race) are pretty inventive people, so it should work out well.

Considering all the men in that company wear skinny jeans, converse, argyle button up sweaters and require a hair straightener each morning to get ready........it's not surprising.

He should focus less on coming out of the closet and focus more on the piece of shit IOS 8. Don't care if he's gay but I do care about the shitty operating system.

Zero fucks are given. Do what you want. However when attention whoring gets attention, don't be all like "why are people so concerned with what I do in my bedroom......oh the right wing haters!".

Lol he's coming out now to take the attention off how much hes fucked apple software and products with lack of leadership and real goals.
Steve jobs never pushed shit out that wasn't ready and then made a half ass apology later on like EA or said hey lets make this because theres a rumor someone wants it. Which is why after 5 iphones ill be going android soon. |

So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me. Let someone famous publicly say, "I am proud to be straight, and I considering being straight among the greatest gifts God has given me." That person would be vilified as closed-minded and simple. |

Big deal. I blame him for not keeping Apple on the bleeding edge of mobile tech, not for his sexual preference. |

To read the posts in GD in the 3 or more threads on this, it would seem he has simultanously kept it secret his whole life while choosing to let it define his life. Not sure how those could exist in the same universe, or how they relate to the actual letter, but what can I say. |

The newer products just seem clunky and not as refined, and I haven't been able to shake the feeling that it's because he isn't there to be OCD about certain things. |

Why do the queers always want to tie themselves to blacks? I doubt MLK would be jumping out in front of their little gay movement. If I were black, I'd be pissed about that, but I guess they need to stay focused on police brutality and white on black crime.

These threads are great for allowing the mouth breathing elite to stand up on a pedestal and proudly announce to the world how utterly dumb they are.
One man, who has risen to the ranks as CEO of one of the worlds larges, most profitable, and most technologically important companies ever, comes out of the closet without the fabulous fanfare of a stereotypical disco-fueled drag machine along with it, but simply as a seemingly otherwise normal guy that just keeps his docking in the bedroom, and suddenly a giant pride parade of derpiness, and narrow-but-loudly presented worldviews are being paraded about and gyrated in public like a homo-hotdog in a 20 denier mesh banana hammock at parade in San-Francisco. I don't know if I'm ashamed of you guys, or proud of your accomplishments. But I think I can make a safe bet that Tim Cook doesn't give a shit. He has actual important shit to do. Maybe one of you guys can run for dog catcher or something on a platform of no gay dog adoption. #freesparky |
