Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Apple CEO Tim Cook comes out: 'I'm proud to be gay' October 30

He sells a ton of products to countries where it matters a whole lot. I wonder how that information will impact the bottom line.

Ah, but in this world, it does matter how you are made Alice.

As a str8, you can't be kicked out of your job, kicked out of your house, beaten and in some cases killed just because of who you love.

And as an aside, it isn't a "preference". It is how people are made.

I think Tim spoke out to encourage non-mainstream people of all types to aim high and not get discouraged. America needs to encourage all talented people regardless of what kind of package they comes in. It doesn't hurt to get a periodic reminder.
