Really? I didn't know that. I mean you could kind of tell about a person's demeanor or swagger on stage but I didn't think it was known a long time ago.

He didn't actually come out and say it before... but everyone including the newspapers and all of silicon valley. No one remembers the new apple ceo is gay articles lol? I feel like we are finding out people landed on the moon here. It was never a suspicion, it was a well known fact.

It's not supposed to change anything. It's just "news" since he has celebrity-like status being the CEO of Apple.

Congratulations, because of that statement, according to the LGBT community and their sympathizers\apologists you are now homophobic, racist, and an overall horrible person. Why? Because someone has publicly announced they are gay and you don't care.

I'm glad he did. It's not about him being gay that deserves an award. It's about telling something about himself that has, historically, been ostracized and for which people have been hunted down and tortured and killed. People still lose jobs over something like that. Knowing what has happened to gay people, the civil rights violations that they have endured and the judgments from societies that I've seen and read about, I believe it makes someone who is such a public figure brave for doing that. I dont think it was anyone's surprise that he is gay, I think it was just a confirmation of what everyone already knew and without that in the way they can get back to the business of making phones and computers.

This is a pretty good article:

Maybe YOU don't care but obviously lots of people do. Otherwise it wouldn't have made the news...

BTW if you don't care then go troll somewhere else. The fact that you keep posting in this thread shows that you care, a lot.

Well when someone keeps responding to every perceived negative post, that's taking it personal in my book.

Not taking anything personal. I don't care if people diss Tim Cook. But when people keep asserting that they don't care about a news or thread but keep posting in it, it makes me question them.

If people are going to - in your opinion - respond to a negative post, then why post something that may be misconstrued as a negative post? So far in this thread the only posts that have been perceived as negative have come from one or two people.

I will agree that it shouldn't be "headline news".

About like the T part in your statement, you are either a chick or a dude, nothing you can do to change that. Play dress up all you want but it does not change anything.
