iPhone is gay after all

No wonder Apple products look so gay. I should have suspected Apple is gay. See the gay color stripes  …

Come to think about it, Steve Job must be a gay as well?

Tim Cook: Yep, I’m gay

In a beautifully written personal essay, Apple CEO Tim Cook has just come out as gay, finally confirming rumors that have circulated since he took over as Steve Jobs’ replacement in 2011.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: My well-known gayness is ‘a gift from GOD’

Throughout my professional life, I’ve tried to maintain a basic level of privacy. I come from humble roots, and I don’t seek to draw attention to myself. Apple is already one of the most closely watched companies in the world, and I like keeping the focus on our products and the incredible things our customers achieve with them.
At the same time, I believe deeply in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, who said: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” I often challenge myself with that question, and I’ve come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me back from doing something more important. That’s what has led me to today.

Blake, you are using the wrong phone in the wrong fashion …

Apple’s Tim Cook Says That He Is ‘Proud to Be Gay’

After Apple CEO Tim Cook on Thursday publicly acknowledged his sexuality for the first time, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg, Vitaly Milonov, had this to say:

“What could he (Cook) bring us? The Ebola virus, AIDS, gonorrhea? They all have unseemly ties over there … Ban him for life.”

This Russian Official’s Homophobic Comment Is A Reminder Of Why Tim Cook Is The Only Openly Gay Fortune 500 CEO

Nicki Minaj is also using iPhone inappropriately

Do selfies with the right gadget like Adrianne Curry … snapped a nude picture of herself and posted it on Twitpic for her Twitter

This allegedly Vanessa Hudgens also doing it right … Don’t show off the gadget.

Obviously, one Russian official’s insensitive comment does not represent the whole country’s view. But at the same time, Russian politicians are known for openly criticizing the LGBT community, as their anti-gay law explicitly bans “creating nontraditional sexual attitudes.”

It is worth noting that this type of homophobic attitude outside of the US is what causes a lot of major corporate CEOs to hesitate going public with their sexuality.

Selena Gomes: “Why pay $1,000 for iPhone? I used a $100 iFone to take this selfie … Same shit, isn’t it?”

In fact, with Thursday’s announcement, Cook has become the only CEO at any Fortune 500 company to publicly say he’s gay. As baffling as it is, prior to Thursday, there were absolutely zero publicly gay CEOs at any Fortune 500 company.

And it’s not because these high-profile, major public companies don’t have any gay CEOs. According to New York Times columnist James Stewart, there are gay chief executives today, but none of them are willing to acknowledge it in public.

There may be many reasons for this — and this is a complex, private issue that involves a personal decision — but Stewart points out “conforming to social norms” might be the biggest reason for these big corporations remaining “the last frontiers for gay civil rights.”

Telling the story of John Browne, the former CEO of British oil company BP who resigned after being outed as gay, Stewart says:

He (Browne) worried that any disclosure would damage his ability to negotiate with openly homophobic business and political leaders, including Vladimir Putin of Russia.

A lot of these Fortune 500 companies are global in nature and have businesses spread around the world. Some of their largest clients may be in countries that have more conservative views on homosexuality, and having a publicly gay CEO won’t necessarily help any of their sales.

In fact, that’s the same idea billionaire investor Peter Thiel — also publicly gay — echoed during an interview with Business Insider.

“A lot of these businesses are global in reach, and when you have customers all over the world, it becomes a question of ‘Will they hold that (being gay) against you?'” he said. “It’s not really a question of how tolerant people are in California.”

But if anything, Cook’s decision to reveal his sexuality could lead to more CEOs of public companies announcing they are gay. And that might be exactly what Cook intended to achieve through his essay, as he wrote:

If hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy.

Let Jennette McCurdy show you why you shouldn’t take selfie with iPhone … coz it is sexier with a real camera.

More proofs selfies taken with a real camera is sexier …
