God “totally cool” with giving Tim Cook all that homosexuality

NOTES & ERRATA BY MARK MORFORD

He wasn’t kidding

It’s a shame that the nation’s remaining homophobes can no longer use Apple products.

I mean, sure, most attuned people sort of already knew that Tim Cook, Apple’s 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 he’s “proud to be gay,” but that his homosexuality is … oh dear … “among the greatest gifts God has given me.”

Well! There’s no pretending anymore, is there? There’s 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 Cook’s shameless blasphemy (homosexuality is an abomination of God, you heathens, not a “gift”), there’s really only one thing any true fundamentalist worth her moral panic should do right now: boycott Apple products.

OK, the one man in my life. My husband of fourteen years (soon to be legally validated).
