Title: Tim Cook is Gay
Post by: 1Referee on October 30, 2014, 01:24:06 PM
Was wondering did Apple know that before making him CEO ? Don't think this is good advertising for a company that large.

The homophobic morons who believes homosexuality is wrong can go buy something else.
I don't think it's bad publicity at all, quite the opposite. It shows that apple is a modern and tolerant corporation.

Well one of the definitions of gay is: happy and excited : cheerful and lively


Just saying.....  :)


In all truth, why does anyone have to come out in public and declare their sexuality to the rest of the world?  Maybe he's afraid his iCloud account has been hacked and "certain" photos might be posted online!

Why is it mindblowing.

A lot shareholders might not like that, and a lot of the American citizens aren't that keen on gay people.

USA is the one of the largest, if not largest markets for Apple. People might turn away from Apple.

It doesn't matter what his sexuality is. He got there for a reason and he must be good at it.
So, i don't think in any way it's bad advertising just my opinion.

I personally don't think that "a lot of the Americans" have issues with gay people, maybe some nutty (mostly christian) groups that are quite loud.

It actually might be a selling point for most "normal" Americans.

And shareholders...they only care if he makes them enough profit.

I think the idea of gay being a problem is a part of history now. The few senior citizens who still go on about homosexuality will soon be dead. Young people do not care. They grew up with openly gay friends and will not learn to hate based on their ignorance. That is because they are not ignorant at all on the subject.

It reminds me of the people who still read the newspaper. I hear that in the newsroom they call the obituary "the subscriber list countdown." lol.

Reading my post back I feel I was too harsh in my tone, I had a rough day and that showed thru in the wording I guess.

Even if I still stand behind every word i've written, I could had done it more polite so I apologize for my tone.

So you are a middle aged man who dyes their hair in rainbow colors?  Just kidding...

As the other poster said, it's a plus not a minus for Apple's image.

A minus might be for a company producing a analgesic heat rub used to relieve muscle and joint pain to hire for an advertisement some actor with first name Ben.   {pause for effect}   Ben-Gay?

There is much more to a person than their sexuality.  

Are they good neighbours?
Are they good to their spouse and family?
Are they honest?

The list goes on and on.
Worrying about their gayness would be near the bottom of that list.

What you've just said is a good explanation of why Humanity does not have an indefinite lifespan("Immortal" in ways), as progress would hardly occur due to people, especially older folk, not willing to change or accept new things.

no one actually dies.  what they do is take your avatar, and bury it, which is a copy of your Heavenly body in every way shape and form.  as aten says.  infinite.

I'm wondering why you think this is bad advertising for a company that large, TBH.

What does his sexual orientation have anything to do with anything, much less the performance of his duties as CEO of Apple.

I'm happy for him that he came out finally. Apparently it was one of the longer kept "secrets" in the industry that the media never reported on because, well, it's not really a story at all IMO.

I think this is the one problem people have with gays is they announce it to everyone.

I don't think it was widely known by the public, just known by people in his circle.
