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?

    Even with moderation, it feels like some of the political threads devolve into 4chan levels of discourse. At least it hasn't been as bad as it was on the other site.

    I do realize it would also be a form of censorship, so for that alone I wouldn't want it to be implemented.
