Why is this the major business story of the day?......I don't think being gay is shocking on any level anymore. Now, if someone had a backstory on Steve Jobs being gay, and a gay "boys club" network that led to Cooks' promotions, that might be somewhat interesting...
But just the mere stand alone fact that Cook is gay?........news?...and this in San Francisco?
It's odd because we're told that being gay is no big deal, but then everyone makes a big deal about being gay.
Here's another thing that's odd about gays. You only ever hear about them after they are successful. You will always hear about lots of successful gay people. I presume one gay person at least ever has formed a company that has failed. But you'll never hear about that guy being the first failed gay CEO.
Here's another thing about Tim Cook. Who cares, regardless, whether he's gay or straight? And what I mean by that is, he's just the most recent CEO of a company. All that means is that at some point Apple hired a gay guy. He didn't lead the company to greatness, did he? I didn't care about him three days ago when I didn't know he was gay and I certainly don't care about him now when I do know he's gay. I keep hearing about how he's the first gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Big deal. I don't care who any of the other CEOs are and neither do most people, if they're being completely honest, so why do I care about Tim Cook, other than he's gay?
It's funny when certain folks come out and all of us say collectively " no ****."
Who did they think they were fooling, and who cares anyway?
I guess people do this because they are trying to increase awareness or something. I don't personally care about anyone else's sexuality unless I happen to be sitting in their lap.

Seems like you had a lot to say considering you don't care.
I suppose it's news because of who he is, but frankly it doesn't interest me as his sexuality has no meaning in my day to day life. My Mac Mini is working just fine, and that's good, but I could really care less who the guy sleeps with.
He's trying to save his job, his running of apple is horrible. The gay issue will make the board wary of firing him, not wanting to be perceived as anti gay.

I don't care that he's gay. I didn't say that I didn't care about how certain people try to portray homosexuality. Two different things.
