Apple chief Tim Cook: 'I'm proud to be gay'

[derspiess]

You know how I know Tim Cook's gay?  Marty told us like 50 times.

Should take the heat off from activist investors like Carl Icahn. I'm a buyer.

Is gheyness something he achieved? How can he be proud of it?

If you can be ashamed, you can be proud too, right?

[Legbiter]

Apple is gay? No shit.

If you can be ashamed, you can be proud too, right?

If you think someone is wrong to be ashamed you must think he's wrong to be proud too, right?

I think saying you are proud to be gay is about communicating that you are comfortable with who you are and communicating that in the public sphere. So I'd say no to your question.

[Barrister]

We all knew Apple stuff was just gay. So, this comes merely as a confirmation.

(I would not be surprised if Apple PCs are not used among gays as a modern way to identify themselves).

Now, question is: it is now time for all Languish Mac users to finally come out of the closet? 

Good for Tim Cook.

You just nuked the entire pride movement.

Pretty much.

Not really. If you can be proud of your children or proud of your ancestors, then surely you can be proud of something that pertains to yourself.

Pride is a sin anyway.

As are most of the best things in life.

Point.  I'm partial to gluttony myself.

That equate "pride" with "comfortable with". Wouldn't be my definition but perhaps just semantics. I guess I'm "proud" to be 5'11", "proud" I'm a bit clumsy and "proud" I have shit eyesight. Well' I'm certainly not bothered about any of those things.
