Although it has been rumored since he took over the helm of the world's biggest tech company following the passing of founder Steve Jobs, Apple CEO Tim Cook has finally confirmed he is gay, posting an encouraging article on BusinessWeek.
I will post the article here in its entirety and without comment except to say that it refreshing to see someone in power share their experiences with ... [ read the full article ]

Who cares, "I'm straight"... write an article about the hard times I had not having a girlfriend until my senior year in high school, never went to prom, lost my virginity during the end of my senior year in high school, then married the girl, and purchased Apple products later in life, and hopefully one day become innovator like Steve Jobs.
What? Your not interested in my story, well I'm not interested in hearing about Tim Cook being gay (we already knew he was) and he waited so perfectly for iPhone 6/6+ and iPad to release before making this statement. It's just a market gimmick to keep Apple in the headlines.
All though I love my new iPhone 6+, I hate the marketing scams that Apple does by thinking we are too dumb to realize what's really going on.
nice article but honestly i would have just kept it to yourself not saying that being proud of who you are is a bad thing but by coming out of the closet in this manner makes people now judge you and your actions which is never cool
just curious, how exactly was Steve Jobs an innovator? I thought confining users to set boundaries as to what they could and couldn't do within your proprietary policing software and repackaging the same product with different names was the exact opposite of innovative.. or were we just going off Time Magazines cover?
If I were Tim I would hang my head in shame for the way Crapple mistreat employees of Foxconn & the taxpayers of America. Who gives a shit about his/her sexlife!

Wow, sounds like you read the same Time article I read... sarcasm *wink *wink. Just in case you don't get it in this post and you didn't get it in my original post.
I thought it was a nicely said and im proud of him for saying it. And yes, it is a silly notion that someone of his age and stature would publicly discuss his sex life, but it is understandable in the current times.
Yes, it shouldn't be any big deal and nobody should have to announce such personal details about themselves, but when so many still consider it not normal and something to be ashamed of (and deserving of repression), the more it is seen as common and normal, the more the negative/hateful thinking goes away. Of course, many older people dying off helps too! ;-)
It's pretty silly to be proud of being gay or straight or black or white or any other thing that you have absolutely no control of. Be proud of your parents for hooking up and giving you the genes that you enjoy having, but you played no part in it, so no reason to be proud of it.
