We all get inspiration in different ways, I guess.

I find nothing inspiring about some guy shouting his preference for, well you know.

He was outed a while ago. Some TV panel of talking heads was discussing important business leaders who have been very public about their homosexuality, and one doofus said, "And of course there's Tim Cook ..."
And everyone on the panel got reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaal quiet.
Doofus says, "He's -- he's not out?"
Somebody said, "Well, I guess he is now."

But it's nice for Tim to make if official. [/s]

Well, I'm happy that he is happy.

I'm pissed that my ipod battery has failed.

[Iron Munro]

He said he was proud.

What is there to be proud of?

That his butt hurts?

Did he actually say, “love the sinner and hate the sin”?

Is he “coming out” and admitting that homosexuality IS sin?

I wonder what the liberal commentary on THAT will be?

[cornfedcowboy]

“Coming out” is a really stupid idea for a fortune 500 CEO. What did they think the benefit would be?

I always thought Apple was kind of gay.

[fatima]

No more Apple for my family.I feel inspired to do that.

If you have to “come out” from something, it’s either drug addiction, sex perversion, or a blizzard. Only one of those is not man made.

Samsung lookin better and better.

I hae had enough of these damn homos

"Coming out" is probably not that big a deal. Although why anyone would want to publicly brag that he is an unrepentant sinner and a pervert, is beyond me.

Publicly stating that one's sinful behaviour is a 'gift from God' is a big deal and is utterly blasphemous and contemptible. Prayers for the sad man, and others that are so far trapped in their sin, and blinded, that they even deny that it is sin. There is time for repentance on this side of the grave - but not when they march off into eternity. For the unrepentant and unwashed, all that remains is a fearful looking for their judgement that is due.

RE: Although why anyone would want to publicly brag that he is an unrepentant sinner and a pervert, is beyond me.

Because he is not a Christian and does not believe that homosexuality is a sin or a perversion.

The “God” he refers to is not the God of the Bible.

Apparently Apple has run out of ideas for new products. Their new marketing plan is "Buy our stuff; our CEO is homosexual".

[El Cid]

Because he is not a Christian and does not believe that homosexuality is a sin or a perversion.

True, but God has imprinted His Law on every man's heart. We are all made in His image. It takes a large, and deliberate act of rebellion to blatantly act against His Law. When people reach this level of depravity it is unfortunately a probable sign that God has given them up. Their consciences are seared and unfeeling.

Inquisition from HR department coming soon: have you now or have you ever considered homosexuality to be a sin?

Anyone answering yes must suffer mandatory “sensitivity training”, public humiliation and possible loss of job. (see Mozilla CEO banishment)

why is it “inspirational”?
