Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Accidentally Outed on CNBC | Out Magazine

I'm not sure why an extremely powerful man such as Mr Cook or any of the others would not come out to the public. I think that it would be a big "shrug"- not such a big deal.

I didn't know Tim cook was gay, I really don't care. But I guess this is part of the gay agenda, it's not enough that he's the CEO of Apple, he has to be the gay CEO of Apple.

Much like Tom Cruise and scores of others Mr. Cook being gay is not exactly a state secret. We heard of this shortly after his Apple appointment, and it has been in various media ever since.

Mr. Cook likely belongs to a group of gay men who feel their sexual preferences are not the be and end all of defining who they are; I mean you don't see most straight men making huge deal either. They simply get up and get on with their days/lives and that is that.

No wonder iPhones are so colorful now. Bahhaha, sorry, couldn't resist. My investment dollars don't care about the sexuality of the CEO.

The better question then is why would you even care? Personally, I don't care if two men go skipping down the road in bunny suits. Not my concern.

In a completely unrelated event, Apple announced plans to launch a new device called the iGay.

Let me guess... It's a combination of a vibrating smartphone and a rainbow-colored dilldo.

But seriously, I would think that Tim Cook coming out as gay could be good for the company. A lot of people like to make themselves feel good by supporting gay causes. I can picture people buying Apple products as a way to publicly display and proclaim their gay-friendliness.
