Apple CEO Tim Cook Publicly Comes Out as Gay in Letter Declaring Support for Equality

[bunnicula]

I have to ask, why are you obsessed with genitals? More specifically, Tim Cook's and what he does with them? You claim to not care and are clear about where you don't want to see genitals placed, yet the irony is if you truly didn't care you wouldn't be posting on this subject, especially posts that detail where one man places his genitals.

Homophobes are obsessed with sex.

You never hear them say "I don't care who (gay person) loves."

Because their minds always leap to how gay sex weirds them out and yet, they still want to talk about it.

I have to assume that sex, in general, trumps love for these people.

Wait... what?!?? Is Apple like one of the most profitable companies in the world under Tim? Do you have more info that I do not, that points to Tim as a lousy CEO????

Yes.

 

[Digital Skunk]

I always thought the world is what we make of it.

It is, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to live in the world we make for ourselves.

Sorry, but I'm done buying Apple products as long as Tim Cook is CEO. Using his public position to push the agenda of hate and intolerancs aka. the gay agenda, is disgusting. Keep your bizarre sexual behavior to yourself, Tim, nobody wants to hear about it.

Those Android tablets are looking better and better.

Rumor is that google has "teh gay".

OH NO!

 

[bmunge]

Nope. You get what you give. That's the bottom line. You give out negative vibes. You get negative vibes back from people.

You are responsible for the way people react to your beliefs and your behavior.

Right, it's minority's fault that people are racist. It's women's fault that people are sexist. It's gays' fault that people are bigots... Stunning analysis.

Why does your "god" have any relevance to this topic? There are plenty of people that do well without him or they believe in another "god", "unicorn" or whatever. I think it's pretty crazy to assume that your own personal "god" should have any effect whatsoever on anyone else.

our God is the reason why we all exist today.

 

[3282868]

So you believe in tolerance until you meet someone who has a different opinion than you? That's not tolerance.

In fact, Its kinda gay.

His "tolerance" left with your reason.

Your last sentence states it all. Wow.

 

[dannyyankou]

Because being straight is in line with Gods laws and the laws of nature. A man and a woman to get together to procreate society continue

Not everyone believes in god.

It affects more than the bedroom. Every day I'm in situations where people assume that I have a wife when I say that I'm married or they ask about my family. When they stop making those assumptions, it won't be necessary for me to mention that I'm gay. Thanks for your attention.

This clearly demonstrates that your lifestyle is not he norm.

The difference between the 2 movements lies in the fact that one is related to behavior, the other related to status (state of being?). Homosexual behavior is something that requires action. Being non-white is something that does not. Big, big difference.

The reason why you will never understand is because you didn't grow up a gay child. Can you imagine how it would feel to have homosexual THOUGHTS (doesn't require action) and to be confused by it all? To be told by society that you are wrong, "maybe I'm just going through a phase?", "I wish I was straight things would be easier". These are common thoughts of gay children. Some of these kids commit suicide before any "action" takes place because society tells them they're wrong.

Why stop at the gender? You can go on mentioning your partners height, weight, ethinicty and color of her/his eyes since they are all also assuming about those parameters too

Actually I haven't heard of anyone assuming those things on someone's spouse, but maybe I've missed something.

 

[vampyr]

You need to update your knowledge on the definition of "marriage".

In many countries, including the US, "Marriage" is NOT between man and woman exclusively.

Just trying to help so that you don't make a fool of yourself in future discussions.

I always learned, through reading about history, that Marriage was a religious ceremony.
Taking classes on Sociology and Anthropology, the one consistency with marriage is that it represented a religious ceremony within the society.

The only other understanding of marriage was to increase the family in some way.

In fact, in the whole of the world's culture... love was NOT the catalyst that started marriage.

Who in the hell cares and what the hell does this have to do with making computers and mobile devices???

This is the kind of crap that makes me mad. Someone using their high position as a business person to push a personal agenda. Just do your job Cook and leave your personal life at home. I don't need it in my face.

Cry about it

Let your pissy tears flow

Not everyone believes in god.

Everyone has a chance to beleive in God whether they accept him into their life it's on them that is one of the greatest gifts God has given us the power of choice.

 

[Symtex]

our God is the reason why we all exist today.

No. We exist due to a series of random event but I understand, its a hard concept to accept. Yes, we are not special and we are meaningless in scope of the universe. That's what make our life precious.

If there is a God it must be perfect. If it's perfect it must be infallible.

Gays are humans. If humans are God's creation, and God is infallible, because it's perfect, then gays are normal and correct.

If not, you're assuming God can fail, so it isn't infallible, so it isn't perfect, so you would have been burned to death in my country some years ago, for a very good reason, and I would have approved it.

 

[pooleman]

Grow up and educate yourself. One's sexuality has nothing to do where one puts their genitals.

Your joking right? It's not only that but it's mostly that. We all interact with different genders all day. We have family members of different genders that we all love. The major difference is what gender gets to play with your fun bits. Let's be real here.

 

[distemp]

This place badly needs a thumbs down button.

We used to have one but people whined and, for some odd reason, the mods folded and took it away.

 

[Poisonivy326]

I'm tired of macrumors deleting the really bigoted posts. I believe the ugly face of bigotry should be "outed." Let those comments stay there. Let everyone know how bigoted and intolerant some people are.

 

[Symtex]

When did I have a choice when I was pounded by religious indoctrination as a kid ?

The only people who are mentioning Tim Cook's penis are the ones who are opposed to homosexuality. Homophobes always have cock on their mind for some reason.

Either you have been living under a rock or you do not understand how fast we are using the resources on this earth

Okay yeah, we’re not kind. 50 years though? We’ve got hundreds before the worst-case estimates place the planet near anything that would be considered “uninhabitable.” And honestly, we’re pretty good at adapting to change as a species. I’d be willing to bet that the planet remains “inhabitable” for thousands of years.

I believe it was taken away to keep the site postive

..and samsung just announced they're gay as well

The fact is, like I was saying, the old european metropolis which were quite hardcore religious, like England, or Spain the most, conquered America. Nowadays our society is also very christian (I'm from Spain), but surprisingly, the old colonies have resulted to overtake us in an incredible way in that matter. How is that posible? It's quite incredible since they are derived societies, much younger. How can the more modern, so late-founded society be so much more fundamentalist than the founder??

I don't think American is anywhere near fundamentalist. Just to be sure, but fundamentalist I am thinking more in line with the KKK and ISIS, probably two of the worlds biggest terrorist groups.

For a base-less opinionated answer? I'd probably say because much of America has always been keen on the idea of assimilation of ideas and culture.

I really wouldn't know without digging deep into it.
