from the gay-to-be-proud dept.

Tim Cook has recently chosen to disclose his sexual orientation.

While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.

At some point society may no longer be surprised when an athlete, celebrity, politician, or other public figure publicly acknowledges his/her sexual orientation. However, we may not be at that point yet.

Will Tim Cook's announcement have any impact on how people view Apple as a company or the likelihood that people will buy their products?

    Why is the parent modded "2, Troll"? It makes perfectly valid points.

    I think that that mis-moderation is a great demonstration of how backward the pro-homosexuality community has become lately. Now it's no longer about them defending themselves, or trying to attain acceptance, like in past decades. Now they've become overtly militant, going out of their way to censor and oppress anyone who doesn't express raving support for their agenda. They've become exactly what they've claimed to oppose for so long.

    Why is your comment not moderated "-1, offtopic"? If you want to bitch about moderation, do it in your journal unless the story is about moderation.
