I simply don't get why he has to mix this article along with Apple's view of "The company I am so fortunate to lead has long advocated for human rights and equality for all. We’ve taken a strong stand in support of a workplace equality bill before Congress, just as we stood for marriage equality in our home state of California."
And in general, I think it's inappropriate to mix personal views with business matters. No body fucking cares if your gay or what color you are. If they do, then they are not people I would want to associate to begin with. What we do care about, are your products the company produces, support, what you're doing to fix bugs, etc...
Stop bringing personal BS to the business tables. Cook is way out of line for using his position at Apple (iPhone6 in the background) as a stage to push some personal gay message about himself.
- malnourish 12y agoOn top of what Art said, it's simply smart business for him to come out as gay in this manner. Look at all the talk it's generating for him and the company he works for. And it has positive social consequences to boot.
- ArtDev 12y agoWhy does it matter? Because of intolerance. The tech community needs a good hard look in the mirror. Most of us are white, straight and male.
- P4u1 12y agoI work in a tech company and most of our men are gay, seriously. Take a look around man, it might come as a surprise for you but gays are everywhere, IT included. By the way since when is this news(for hacker news)? Did anyone here not know he's gay(honest question)?
