Apple CEO Tim Cook: “Being Gay Is Among The Greatest Gifts God Has Given Me”
Business2Community ^ | 10/30/2014 | By Steph Bazzle

Apple CEO Tim Cook is speaking out about his sexuality, for the first time openly since he was accidentally outed by a CNBC anchor back in June. He’s coming out publicly to announce that he is proud to be gay, and to speak about the things his sexuality has taught him — and how his coming out may help others.

Back in June, a CNBC anchor was discussing the story of John Browne, a former CEO of BP, who left his job after being publicly outed by a tabloid paper. In response, host Simon Hobbs commented that there are many openly gay CEOs, and listing Tim Cook as one of them. His co-hosts quickly moved to silence him.

Apple has been around A LONG TIME mroe than 16 years.

I think Jobs brought him over from NeXT.

Regardless, the GAY Freepers are on a roll, the facts won’t stop them.

I recommend Microsoft. I understand they don’t have any gay people who work for them.

It’s terribly hard (in fact impossible) to find anything “in the world” that doesn’t have some association with someone doing something that God forbids.

I am pretty sure Rush doesn’t hear you here anyhow. Now if you send him a letter that might be different.

If it is true, as you suggest, that these folks are more victims than fiends ab initio, then why be so intent on boycotting?

What ad hominem? LOL!

Freepers carrying on about Apple being gay have been doing it olong before Tim Cook. And how do you know Linux dopesn’t have any gay people?

You know, you have to be careful about that stuff. :o)

Accusing anyone who disagrees with either your conclusions or your approach or your attitude of doing it because of being “gay.”

The devil laughs at how he has you in hand.

Are you saying Linux doesn’t have any gay people? I bet if you asked, they’d support they gay employees.

RE: I wonder what stock would be good to use the money for.

Buy companies that make DIS-INFECTANTS and DE-CONTAMINANTS.

With Obola in charge, they will continue to do well. Plus, hospitals and clinics will ALWAYS need these products even if (God willing) Ebola were to subside. So these are not the fad of the day.

“Castor & Pollux” were the name of the ship/ships in the Bible....WHY?

Because the ship in question (i.e. Acts 28:11) was from Alexandria, so its owners were probably Hellenized if not actually Greek. The Twins were regarded as the patrons of sailors, so it was entirely understandable for a Greco-Roman ship to have such a symbol as the figurehead.

When public figues like Cook and Andrew Sullivan embrace and celebrate filthy AIDS sodomy, it is surely a sign of end times. I can think of nothing more disgusting than these psychotic males worshiping the fecal elimination organ of other males. Our country is through with when degenerate pigs like them are not imprisoned.

The name Apple was chosen because the company to beat in the technology industry at the time was Atari, and Apple Computer came before Atari alphabetically and thus also in the phone book. Another reason was that Steven Jobs had happy memories of working on an Oregon apple farm one summer.

LOL, no. The name Apple came from Steve Jobs stealing it from the Beatles's Apple Records as a calculated PR move precisely because it was so famous and well known.

That's how Jobs rolled - every single time, topped by some sappy soccer-mom cover story that required you to turn yourself into an idiot to accept it.

Oh and by the way, the timing and style of expression and combination of gay plus God of Tim Cooks announcement has absolutely nothing to do with psychologically conflating brand loyalty with centrist votes in the the pending elections, so get that out of your mind.

Samsung stock just went up. Never met a computer geek that will not tell you Samsung makes a better cell phone. Their favorite expression for IPhones? The cell phone for dummies.
And now for some reason the CEO of Apple wants to tell everyone that he likes anal sex? How odd is that? He could order any vasiline with his Iphone or what? Why the anger? Ass is hurting this morning?

“And it is odd that a man would be “proud” that his affectional life does not match the nature of his physical body”.

Because he’s the catcher. I want him to write Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore and get his thoughts on his being proud to be a sodomite. Ask the judge when he’ll be able to get “married” in the state of Alabama. Should be an interesting conversation.

“I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.” - Tim Cook

Arrogance and insane stupidity.

God stated VERY clearly the homosexual lifestyle is so evil that it’s an obamanation.

Homosexuality cannot be both evil and the “greatest gift from God”.

Cook’s “god” is satan...aka allah.
