Im disgust from the idea of touching other man or other men touching me in a sexual way. However, I dont care if someone likes it or not, nor do I want to know. At the end, its not question of choice to like something hot entering your ass and feeling some extra balls next to yours. Its your brain thats like it. You are probably borne this way or developed it after. What cause it? I dont know. I find it strange and so I dont embrasse the whole gay thing. Notwithstanding, I dont see why someone has to be discriminated on the basis of his strangeness. Different people like different stuff. I like to **** girls, and thats what matters to me. My religion, my moral, and my brain are open for all strange things in the world, and im OK if they dont cause problems to others.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Publicly Comes Out as Gay in Letter Declaring Support for Equality

Actually That largely depends on context; I both study at an arts faculty where a large portion of students are either openly, semi-closeted or closeted (but, in any case, very obviously) gay and have many gay friends (who, in turn, also both have gay and straight friends themselves, though, in many cases, those are disproportionately gay in number) from all quadrants of life, so I sometimes feel the need to come out publicly and announce my heterosexuality, with various degrees of subtlety or straightforwardness, depending on the orientation make-up of the group I'm currently socializing in.
You know, though I am openly a straight ally (which should be a self-explanatory, but if it isn't, feel free to google that) and do not feel any revulsion whatsoever at having physical contact with gay people (yes, I'm talking about hugs and, if that suits our fancy, kissing on the cheeks just as I'd do with a straight friend of the opposite sex), newcomers may not have been briefed of that fact in advance, so I may wish to signal myself as avaliable to the opposite sex and unavailable to my own, both to not miss out on potential matching opportunities (when I'm unattached, at least, and it came to my knowledge that in more than one occasion, much after the fact, some girls had it all wrong about me) and to avoid awkward moments of unrequited passion (my behaviour is not always the most heteronormative anyway, which most definitely could lead to confusion towards people with bad/broken gaydars).
Makes a bit of sense, no? YMMV and, in your case and judging by your discourse, I'm guessing most of your friends are heteronormative and either straight or closeted, so you likely wouldn't have to go around telling everyone you are straight.
Anyway, I digress Good on Tim for coming out! As someone posted before, I wonder how Apple will fare in, say, the Middle East (though I believe the high-ups over there, with some of whom Tim already met, already had suspicions and just didn't care either way, as money speaks louder than sexual orientation anyway
All in all, I believe the net effect for *everyone* involved and affected (Tim, gay people in general and Apple as a company, including duh its employees, suppliers, customers, etc.) will be greatly positive.
But you do not run a multi-billion dollar international company. No one on this forum cares if you are gay or not.
I know a guy who lost his male partner just recently, after being together for 45 years. So he has lived through some very different time, from the late 60's. I don't think he was ever content being discreet about it (discrete is an altogether different word, by the way). There were times when he had to be discreet to avoid trouble up to danger for his life, and these times are over now, but he was most definitely not content with that.
Seriously, do you think anyone would be content knowing that most people can hold hands with the person they love in public, and they can't?
your entitled to your own opnion. The fact remains the top scientist believe the universe is made from intilegent architecture. God is real
nature is a gift from GodThat statement right there is wrong on so many different levels and I have better things to do then debate them with you.
I'm of the mind that homosexuality is a mental disorder. I think it's disgusting, and yes, I wish I didn't have to hear about it or see it. You have your right to condone it if you wish, I have my right to stand against it. I'm not going to discriminate against them, I just don't agree with their choices or lifestyle.

Mmmmm......which top scientists???? Your delusion goes further than just the bible!
Are you also going to disassociate yourself with every company that has a gay CEO? Or a non-Christian CEO?
Good for him!
I think that 1st off, what you do with your life is your business and shouldn't be dictated by others, unless it is harmful to others (violent acts) but other than that, I support the that everyone has equal rights and the ability to choose/do/feel however they want.
I'm a Christian, but hey, just because I live a certain way doesn't mean everybody needs to do the same thing.
I've got gay friends, atheist friends, transsexual friends and so on. Frankly, as I stated before I don't think it really matters what other people do with their life. Your life is your business. I feel that for me, I shouldn't judge others by how they live their lives, no matter the circumstances.
Period end of story, if you don't agree with me, the guess what?
That's fine.

Well and I i am of the mind that anyone believing in a god is delusional and thus has a mental disorder.
Further than just the bible? Really? If you don't like Tim Cook or Apple being tolerant of people then you simply should find another tech company to support that shares your world view.
Think what you want, but the LGBT community will only continue to grow and gain more support.
Tim is a human being. What any human being does with another consenting adult is nobody else's business.
All that matters is that Tim is good at his job.
For those people saying that they will switch to Android or Windows because of Tim's sexuality, I am certain that the likes of Google, Samsung, and Microsoft – with their own gay employees and managers – would rather not have you.
Your hatred and intolerance is odious and ignorant. While I respect your right to hold the views you do, I pity you for holding them. Life is short. To waste your life hating consenting adults doing whatever they choose to do, is sad and pathetic.
There is no moral or ethical justification for prejudice of any kind. In the end, we all come from the same small gene pool and we are all connected and related. In hating others, you are hating part of yourself. If hating yourself makes sense to you, you really need to reassess who you are, what you want to be, and why you are here at all.
You might hate Tim, and you might hate yourself, but we haven't given up hoping you have a better and more enlightened future.
