expand your mind, someday you may understand why Tim did the interview. Or move out of the basement.
I think he was doing this in preparation for something public. He will probably be seen at a public event very soon with another man. He doesn't want the speculation of that sighting to steal away from anything else going on and lead t on interrogation.
If something like this was leaked at the Apple Watch release, it would actually overshadow the product itself. Best to put the speculation to rest sooner or later.
"Tolerant" really is setting the bar quite low. It's being asked by the majority to be allowed to live and not be persecuted.
Not likely. And to be honest, I don't feel sorry for you. Show your wife or girlfriend your posts, and chances are she'll kick you where it hurts because she's disgusted with you.
Not at all. There's a reason why many closeted people have married someone of the opposite sex - it's to publicly demonstrate a socially-approved sexual orientation.
"Everyone is fighting some personal battle with society, and all battles are equivalent, therefore this has nothing to do with being gay and nobody should ever say they are gay ever. Sincerely, vampyr."
yes, yes and yes.
Why do you think billionaries drive bullet proof cars and have security cameras around their property, and have security personell?
I've seen kids beaten up because they were fat. I've seen kids beaten up because they were skinny. I've even seen kids shunned in school because they had cancer or were handicapped.
It has nothing to do with being gay. The world will ALWAYS be unequal, and there will ALWAYS be people you run into who don't accept you. Whether for being gay, or being tall, or being short, or for missing teeth, or for being poor, or even for being rich.
Get over yourself.
What kind of union?
I'm perplexed as well. Jony Ive isn't gay. Unless my gaydar is on the fritz.
Even if he was, both men are intelligent enough not to get involved with one another considering their professional relationship.
You obviously have no clue whatsoever what gay people are going through before they are able to come out.
I'm a white straight male. I don't see the major personal battles I'm fighting. Kids made fun of me at school, because I wore glasses and wasn't very athletic. That's the only thing that comes to my mind. But nothing compared to what many gay people go through when they wonder whether or not to come out to their parents or to their friends. Not comparable at all. I have no idea what personal battles you are fighting, but your "EVERYONE" statement is nonsense.
There are quite a few Republican states trying to do exactly that.

Or maybe they just think it is gross?
I think fat people having sex is gross... I think people eating cow brains and bull testicles is gross too...
Now if they think it is gross and therefore should be illegal that is totally different. Just because something thinks something is gross shouldn't mean that they think people shouldn't have the right to do it.
Can you please explain this to me? You don't like homosexuals or you don't support them to come out of closet?

I'm glad he felt comfortable coming out publicly. Some of the comments here on MR are just sad.
It must be hell to be an iPhone-loving homophobe right about now.
It's going to be even more hellish when they discover that Microsoft and Google are huge supporters of equality too. They're going to have to use tin cans and string for a phone.
What a disgusting thing to say. It's okay for him to be gay as long as he's alone? You're really a terrible person.
"Everyone is equally marginalized, and life chances are distributed equally. There has never been social progress for anyone ever, and nothing will ever change. Your pal, vampyr."
Doesn't answer my question though. Could YOU change your mind about your sexuality?
Well if I was a Christian I guess I would be part of the group it's being persecuted. Again you didn't answer the question because you can't.
