Our Gay Frisco TV news station after proudly noting Tim's Gay Gift from God, went into how Alabama has no special rules/laws for gays. So is Gay Tim from Alabama, and is he going to out Alabama?

You must have missed this:Apple CEO Tim Cook criticizes Alabama for not offering equality to LGBT community

And he's not from Alabama; he's from Auburn. The Gumps don't claim him.

Good thing I don’t own anything from Apple. Otherwise, I’d throw it away.

"What an idiot..."

Incorrect usage on an Apple thread. The proper form is:

They're not equal to us, y'see... they're better.

According to Lisa Kudrow, gay men are superior creatures.

“Castor and Pollux aspired to marry the Leucippides (”daughters of the white horse”), Phoebe and Hilaeira, whose father was a brother of Leucippus (”white horse”).[a] Both women were already betrothed to cousins of the Dioscuri, the twin brothers Lynceus and Idas of Thebes, sons of Tyndareus’s brother Aphareus. Castor and Pollux carried the women off to Sparta wherein each had a son; Phoebe bore Mnesileos to Pollux and Hilaeira bore Anogon to Castor. This began a family feud among the four sons of the brothers Tyndareus and Aphareus.”

Amen. My wife received an iPad Mini as a gift. Eveything on it is bassackwards and non-intuitive from the way in which a normal person in the Western Hemisphere would approach it. She frequently appeals to me to untangle some left-handed inverted screw-up it has led her into, which I’m usually able to smoke out. But as for me; Love my Android. It’ll do everything but bake a cake; and do it with western, new world logic!

Pro-Apple peeing contest begins in 4, 3, 2.....

He’s half right. God DID give him an incredible gift — in fact, a couple of them. First, He gave him life itself, the ultimate gift. But then He also gave him free will — the power to choose between righteousness and sin.

This schmuck has chosen sin. And he’s free to do that. However, our choices carry consequences, and his consequences are destined to be pretty harsh.

I think he will regret that ay the moment of his death. At that moment Christ becomes perfect justice. While people are alive, Christ remains perfect mercy.

So Christ is waiting for him to repent.

Apple Computer and Apple Records are not the same. A record company isn’t granted a monopoly on the use of the name of a fruit.

P.S. The little Android icon is STRAIGHT, and won’t be coming out of any closet, either.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

The world is Satan’s domain, and an evil place. We should all pray for Tim Cook, as he is a slave to Satan. Unrepentant, he will burn in hell forever.

RE: This will have Zero impact with Rush and other so called conservatives, who are active members of the Apple Cult.

In my opinion, most corporations are evil, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donates to a bunch of evil causes, including population control, and Google is very cozy with Dems and advocates far left candidates and causes. So I have to choose from three evil companies anytime I get a new computer or phone and if those are the choices I have, I'm going to go with the product that makes my life easier. Apple offers me the best experience in personal computing and business and keeps me organized and virus free. Cook is a great businessman and an excellent CEO of a technology organization, but he's a real whack job in some areas just like the other libs at Google and MS.

I have heard this “ gift from God” line of reasoning before. However, it was being used by a gay man who said that even though he was gay, he remained celibate and never acted on his impulses because he knew it is sinful to do so. He felt like that was his cross to bear, given him by God.
As long as he remains celibate, who can criticize him? Not me.
I think that that for the CEO of Apple, who is acting on his impulses, he will
find a bit of a bit of a different reception when we all get sorted out in the end.

Apple stock took a dive of $1.01 and is now trading down at $106.33

As the word of Cook’s proud to by gay statement percolates through the investor and trader class, Apple stock will continue its freefall.

Like Mr. Cook, I am sure the men of Sodom and Gomorrah also gloried and boasted in their depraved and perverted "lifestyle". Like Mr Cook, I am sure they also claimed they were "blessed by the God's" for their burning lusts for sex with men. I am also sure their "cultured society" of Sodom and Gomorrah also gave its hearty approval of their shameless, open wickedness and conduct. I am sure all of these things were true and taking place in abundance right up to the second Almighty God acted in righteous judgment against Sodom and Gomorrah by pouring sulfer, fire and brimstone upon their entie cities, the surrounding environs and all of their inhabitants, killing them all and immediately sending their souls to Hell; thus demonstrating to the boastful men of Sodom, the inhabitants of the world at that time and to all of the nations and generations of men to follow throughout all of human history that the sin of homosexuality is an abomination in His eyes and that an eternal, firey judgment awaits all who practice it and fail to repent by receiving the Lord Jesus Christ an their personal savior and turning away from their former perverse "lifestyle".

Mr. Cook can boast and glory in his perversion; he can seek to deceive himself and the world by falsely claiming his depravity is "a gift of god" all he wants, but Almighty God, who will not be mocked, has spoken both in His Word AND in action telling all mankind, for all generations HIS final assessment and verdict on homosexuality: it is an abomination in HIS sight; all who practice it are worthy of death and Hell and the societies that condone and promote homosexuality are worthy of utter ruin and destruction by His Almighty hand!

Mr. Cook, and all of the others like him, both great and small, can boast, revel and glory in their perversion and sin all they like but God is not mocked and all of these mere mortal men of dust will soon die, going the way of all flesh and the second they do they will find themselves in unceasing torment in Hell as they await the resurrection of the unrighteous dead where they will be reunited with their bodies which will never die to then appear a final time before The Lord Jesus Christ, seated upon a "Great White Throne" of judgment, who will judge them for their sin and once and for all of eternity cast them alive into The Lake of Fire where they will be utterly separated from Almighty God and His kingdom forever!

Everyone who practices and promotes homosexuality would be wise to weigh the ultimate outcome and consequences of their actions and what God says most assuredly awaits each and every one of them and those whom they deceive, unless they repent, before it is eternally too late.

I’ve posted on FR before about my experiences with queer men while in high school. This was because my best friends father became confused when we were Juniors in high school. Before we knew it he was having parties with a bunch of “gay” men. The bottom line is that I met hundreds of them. In between the times they were hitting on me (constantly) I chatted with many of them. Note that I was 16 years old at the time.

What I learned was: 1) They are all self loathing. 2) They are all very self-destructive. 3) They cannot be trusted in business deals. My friends father learned this the hard way (no pun intended). 4) They want you to be queer too. 5) They are totally obsessed with being accepted. The radical ones are NAZIS and would jail you for not thinking their way if they could. 5) They wanted to control the media and the though processes in the media regarding how the media portrayed them. I knew some of the first ACT UP types from the Houston Montrose area. This was many years ago when it was still politically correct to call a queer a queer. That has changed and it has changed because a very well organized and very well funded group of people have changed the public perception of queer folk. They did this with the help of the Democrat party who see homosexuals in the same way the see American blacks and now Hispanics or illegals. They are a voting block that can be controlled.

My last point above is the most important point. The Democrat Party has promoted “gay” issues for the votes. They don’t give a RATS ass (pun intended) about homosexuals. They don’t care about men marrying men or women marrying women. They want the votes. And they want their money. It is exactly the same with the black vote, black Americans have been played by the Democrat Party for decades. Billions have been spent in this country by taxpayers on gay issues. Trillions have been spent on “African American” issues. Billions will be spent on “Hispanic issues” and that is why Obama will give amnesty to illegals at the detriment of blacks. Oh, when I say “issues” I mean BRIBES.

Back to the “gay” issue. Note that in the article about the Apple CEO there is something missing. It is the one thing that has been missing for decades when it comes to every male homosexual story written in the major media. It is the one thing that I learned as a teenager the queer folks are terrified of. That one thing is when there is ever any reference to what they do physically. Anal sex and ingesting human feces via oral sex. I bet for some even my writing that last sentence makes some cringe because people have been trained to not speak of such things. Imagine if the CEO of Apple because the topic is his sexual “orientation” was simply asked about such things. There would be an instant and furious retribution against whoever asked the question by the media and countless groups (mostly taxpayer subsidized but that another topic - nonprofit corps in America). The slug mouthing would be instant and powerful.

We cannot talk about gays and what they do physically. We cannot talk about blacks and what the Democrats have done to their entire culture and what that culture is all about today. We cannot talk about illegals. Because the Democrat Party has said so. And most people go along with that as if it is the norm. And today, it is. It is even taught in schools.

Besides what the Democrat Party has done to grow and control these groups for votes they also attack any group that votes against them. The Democrats do not represent Christians, Tea Party people, business owners, etc. Any voting block that does not block for them they try to injure or destroy. Hobby Lobby? Prayer in schools? People against abortion? Guns? Border security? The list goes on.

The Democrat Party is the party of misfits, devoids and oddballs. It is a tapestry of losers, lowlifes, morons, parasites, thieves and crooks. It has no morals, no ideas, no creativity and absolutely no interest in representing all the people in the areas they have been voted in to in Congress, The Executive or in the US Supreme Court.
