He wasnt kidding
Its a shame that the nations remaining homophobes can no longer use Apple products.
I mean, sure, most attuned people sort of already knew that Tim Cook, Apples CEO, was gay. But now there he is, the top executive at the most valuable and recognized company in the world, a global mega-corporation worth hundreds of billions, not only flagrantly announcing hes proud to be gay, but that his homosexuality is oh dear among the greatest gifts God has given me.
Well! Theres no pretending anymore, is there? Theres no way for fundamentalists to continue to feign (even more) Biblical or cultural ignorance, and keep on using all these gay-supporting, abortion-loving, science-enjoying technologies and services.
In fact, given Cooks shameless blasphemy (homosexuality is an abomination of God, you heathens, not a gift), theres really only one thing any true fundamentalist worth her moral panic should do right now: boycott Apple products.
