Apple's Tim Cook: 'I Consider Being Gay Among the Greatest Gifts God Has Given Me'

Tim Cook, chief executive of Apple, has officially come out as gay and described his sexuality as “among the greatest gifts God has given me.”

Cook, who had previously never denied being gay but neither had he publicly acknowledged his sexuality, wrote about being gay in an opinion article for Bloomberg.

“I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me,” the boss of the world’s largest company said on Thursday. “For years, I’ve been open with many people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at Apple know I’m gay, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference in the way they treat me,” he said. Of course, I’ve had the good fortune to work at a company that loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when you embrace people’s differences. Not everyone is so lucky.”

Well I don't have a problem with gays. It's not really something to be proud of though.

Explains why Apple is so popular among gays.

26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Romans 1:26-27, KJV

Why does it make news when someone say they are gay? It is like you get a trophy for declaring yourself gay.

The irony of that sentence...

As though you couldn't tell by looking at him... some gay people- certainly not all- have a certain combination of not only facial expression but also facial structure that gives them away. Weird. I bet there have been studies done on this.

Why does he feel obliged to announce it and why does he feel proud of it? It is like proclaiming you like a certain flavour of ice cream, it really is not relevant to anything.
