Tim Cook Announces His Gayness
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/tim-co...--finance.html
Tim Cook has announced it. Anyone surprised? And does that sound prejudiced? How will it affect the next iphone? |

serious question - why/how does anyone feel 'proud' to be gay? or black, male, female, hetero, English, American, etc?
Where does pride come into something that isn't a choice? Good on him though for coming out and any strength it gives to those who are maybe embarrassed by their sexuality. I just don't understand the 'proud to be insert_no_choice_situation_here' |

Well, he could have just said "I'm Gay" and that was it. The best way to do it is during an interview when someone references relationships with women and he could say "Well it doesn't affect me as I'm gay." and that is it. Nothing more to say, it would still hit the headlines. Maybe he wants to advertise the fact..... so he'll attract some yawning men. |

everyone who feels the need to talk about how proud they are of whatever, is really very insecure and probably hates themselves.

I wonder if he needs a toy boy - Also, can I still be a 'toyboy' at 43?..
Jel: I think when someone says they are 'proud' to be gay they are actually saying that they are not ashamed of it - They are using it as a word to demonstrate they are the opposite of ashamed..... I agree it is not really the correct word to use - It's just a convenient one, 'I'm not ashamed of being gay' sounds a bit defensive... |

Read the article. He did it to help change the world. Lots of people are still homophobic as well as lots of gays are afraid to be out. I think it was a good thing.

Here is my public open letter
I am sometimes not straight I am often times gay Once upon a time being straight meant that you were lame, that you conformed to society's definition or normal, or to be sober Once upon a time being gay meant being happy. I am sure many lesbian and homosexual individuals are very happy but so are many others. I have also known a number of homosexual and lesbian individuals that I would call straight. Words, so much power and they can be redefined but who gets to decide?

Who cares about your insignificant "opinion". Certainly no one would give 2 shits if YOU are gay or straight BUT then again you are not the CEO of the most profitable and talked about tech company the world has ever known...so there just might be a little bit more interest in Tim Cook than you - SURPRISE! It is significant because he is a high profile figure and straights don't need to announce anything because it is automatically assumed they are just that - straight. He's just setting the record "straight" because a lot of people DO have interest in high profile people and his coming out also will give the message to young people that they don't have to hide who they are. Now stick your head back up your ass where it normally is so we don't have to listen to anymore shit coming out of your trap! |

As Eddy said, just a poor choice of word - 'unashamed' would fit better imo, but hey, each to their own. I'll give a real-world example of a bunch of misunderstood, and ostracised people: I'm unashamed of being an alcoholic, but if I came out and said I was 'proud' to be one, that just doesn't make sense. |

Nevertheless, I was responding to what was in the article and I do find gay activists tend to live their lives based on their sexuality. Quote:
I've personally seen homosexuals scratch their way to the top of their respective fields while living sexuality bases lives/lifestyles. I get the need for activism to get others to be more tolerant of different sexualities, but I have noticed that sex activists live the life and that's been shown to have issues. |

Part of the definition of pride is "satisfaction derived from one's own qualities". The definition of prideful is "having or displaying feelings of scorn for what is regarded as beneath oneself" People often confuse having pride with being prideful. The Gay pride movement is about unity, self acceptance, education & strength.
 I've spent the last 21 years of my life raising my straight son as a single father that's both "openly" Gay, and an "openly" Gay pornographer. By openly Gay I mean that nobody knows I'm Gay unless they ask a question, or we're in a circumstance, that specifically requires I tell them if it would mean I'd have to lie or be subversive not to tell them. I just say "I'm not straight".  98% of the people I've met in my life do not know my sexuality, but had the circumstance come up, I would have openly told them. Oh and the CEO of Apple is Gay, any surprise? For many yes! Stereotypes say he'd be to scatter brained, obsessed with unsafe sex, shopping, gossip, or interior design, to focuss on a successful carreer. That's not who we are. They are stereotypes.  I've been to a Gay bar 3 times in my life, and one Gay pride event. I'm socially liberal & fiscally conservative. I've paid my dues for being Gay, and for being a pornographer.  I'm happy that I've invested 21 years of my life raising one well adjusted straight man that knows what being Gay is really about, and he's in school working on his teaching degree while working at a local kids organization for the last 2 years... worth the sacrifice. I'm so proud of him..  |
