Apple CEO Tim Cook came out Thursday, announcing that he is gay in a column in Bloomberg Businessweek.
"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," he wrote.
Cook has not publicly discussed his sexual preferences before now, despite some rumors and speculation that he is gay.
A year ago he announced support for a federal law which would have protected workers from facing discrimination based on their sexual orientation.
"For too long, too many people have had to hide that part of their identity in the workplace," he wrote at the time.

You are exactly right. The whole I don’t care about private behavior attitude has come around and bit everyone in the collective behind. One has to ask themselves why does natural law exist and what happens when one does not adhere to it?
I think the problem has been no one cared about the level of depravity of people who have become leaders in industry, government and cultural issues. What they think and do in private eventually seeps out into what they do in public. Compartmentalization is a myth. Homosexuality is disobedience to natural law. They say they are born that way. If that is true then why must they teach it to children in school and indoctrinate the courts with it. Right thinking people when they are given enough information will not support something that goes against natural law. Now watch the Apple stock tumble.
Sodomy is something to be proud of? How about plooking poodles? Would plooking poodles be something to be proud of?
Just ask him who Jesus Christ is, and all will be revealed.
The fact that he believes his distorted sexual identity is a gift from God should disqualify him as a competent decision maker for a corporation.
So he's proud of sucking other mens genitals, proud of penetrating other mens anuses with his genitals, proud of allowing other men to penetrate his anus with their genitals ...
That's hideously evil.
I understand that: I'm disagreeing.
Your presumption that people who are less offended are better informed is a conceit.
I maintain your theory breaks down because the "gay campaign" works because it is just that, a campaign, not because it resonates with people who do not share the same proclivities as homosexuals regardless of how "informed" they are.
Typical Apple guy.. will act like he invented gay ...he might even try to patent the GUI interface “look and feel”
We way more care how he runs Apple as a company.
Well we knew. ..a Mac is just a PC in drag anyway
I guess that makes him an iQueer.
Is it a gift when the other man’s penis enters your anus?
Or is the other man’s anus a gift into which you put your penis?
Are the increased health risks a gift?
I’m so confused.
Well people who knowingly pass on HIV to willing victims are called “Gift Givers.”
Again, you're misreading my words, and then apparently basing your disagreement on that.
It has nothing to do with being offended or not being offended. You're making that connection, I'm not.
It's all about being informed, whether a person has a basis for being offended by it or not. If the issue had been debated objectively in the public square, so that it was common, research-based knowledge that people are not born homosexual, then a PR campaign proclaiming "God made me this way, so it's bigotry for you to object" simply wouldn't get a lot of footing.
The reason the movement has made so much progress is that the only counter-arguments one hears in the public arena are those based on moral/religious objections, and we all agree that we're not a theocracy, so we're not going to be able to use those arguments with people who don't believe as we do. To them, the arguments of the activists sound perfectly reasonable. They may, however, be persuaded by rational, scientific arguments that they unfortunately have never heard.
“I’m proud to be gay, “
I have never said this before, so now I will: I’m proud to be heterosexual.
