Tim Cook, the face of gay corporate bigotry

It’s all about the money. Apple owns businesses in four Muslim countries where to be gay is a death penalty offense, but wants to attack and destroy the income of Christian bakers and photographers for their beliefs.

And look how long he hid in the closet all for Apple.  Now that’s evidence of the strength of his convictions.  But everyone else has to change and accept his lifestyle, which he hid for years on behalf of his career.

The second time this week I've heard a rant about homosexuals. At least you didn't use profanity to my face. Still wonder after all your comments why it is that you, and the man I refer to, are so concerned about what happens in other people's bedrooms. I really never ever even think about it, nor do I care. It seems queer that you and 'Bud' are fixated on the details. I understand perfectly why Tim Cook kept his secret, it's called discrimination. He wouldn't have been promoted or risen in his company because you are not the only one in the world who thinks discrimination should be ok.

Sorry, this is simply a regurgitated blog post rewriting what every single conservative blog / publication has been writing for the last week. It's a distraction - a red herring, if you will. What's worse it relies on the assumption that Indiana should be held to the same standard as Saudi Araba, UAE, etc. This is nonsense.

Apple understands its business better than you. So does Eli Lilly, the NCAA, et al. The business community has overwhelmingly moved on from the rural bigotry and irrational economic actions of regions that have their sights set on becoming low cost competitors with Bangladesh. That you choose to attempt to reverse your own bigoted narrative onto business is absurd. You can garner likes and pats on the backs from your friends who believe they are persecuted because their public business now has to enter into arms length txns with a gay man - but the market doesn't care. Enjoy irrelevance but don't expect your perspective to engender real capital formation from whence you came.

Why say "sorry" then insult my intelligence? Typical liberal. His bigotry is OK to make money in foreign countries. . . according to your sorry argument.

Next door: Tim is a bigot, the kind you complain about. That's the only reason he's mentioned here. And it's all about economics.

If Tim Cook had been as brave and bold as librarians and hair dressers, he would have stepped out of his self inflicted hiding years ago.

Remember when Democrat bigots ran Mark Foley, a gay Republican out of Congress? His fellow Republicans and constituency all knew who he was.
