By who, Apple fanboys? Your average person probably doesn't even know who is Apple's current CEO let alone that he's gay.
- downandout 12y agoTech media mainly.
- Aloha 12y agoNot just tech media - anyone who follows GLBT politics and rights assumed it too.
- newscracker 12y agoThere were at least a couple of places where it was mentioned earlier this year (and it was kind of "known" in the past too). Two links from April 2014: Out Magazine - http://www.out.com/out-exclusives/power-50/2014/04/15/what-does-lgbt-power-look-2014 http://www.out.com/out-exclusives/power-50/2014/04/15/what-d... HuffPo (about the same) - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/27/out-power-50-most-powerful-gay-people_n_1458934.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/27/out-power-50-most-p...
- notahacker 12y agoYou'd have to be a weirdly obsessive anti-gay to spend your spare time perusing Out magazine or lists of most influential homosexuals, though I suppose such people do exist and you'd also have to be pretty weirdly obsessive to refrain from purchasing from a corporation on account of the sexual orientation of a member of its management team. I'm gay, politically aware, and posting on HN on a MacBook and had no idea, though frankly I also don't browse LGBT power lists.
- praneshp 12y agoI don't think so. I'm not the poster you were replying to, I don't care if he's gay, and I don't go read such lists either. The CNBC 'outing' came up either on my facebook trends or on HN, that's the only two ways I get news these days.
