There's some bravery there, coming out to the worlds media. I can't imagine the pressure that guy must have felt but hopefully coming out will make him more at ease with himself.

News of this nature does not improve the quality of Apples products. He should have never done that. -=-=- DNA |

Coming out as gay shouldn't affect his or Apple's position. Just take a look at Roger Wilson that worked for Acorn Computers, he became Sophie Wilson later on in life and still actively plays a big part in the world of computers.

@dna: There's even probably a few gay people on this forum. What you also need to realise that being gay or transgender is just how some people are, it's not a disability and most certainly isn't contageous. And just for the record, before you ask... 1) Am I gay: No. 2) Do I support gay rights?: Yes I do. 3) Do I have friends that are gay/lesbian, transgender, crossdresser?: Yeah, loads of 'em. 4) Do I give a toss what anyone thinks?: Do I fuck!. |

Kuron: Never have understood the "coming out" nonsense. Just be who you are and who you are meant to be.That's the sensible thing to do but many people use certain platforms to advertise. -=-=- DNA |

You do realise that quote was Kuron's, not mine. LOL But what do you mean by saying "That's the sensible thing to do but many people use certain platforms to advertise"?. |

dna Sorry about thatNo worries about the quote thing. But to try to understand that sexual orientaion and gender identity doesn't matter anymore, most of the world has moved on from burning people at the stake ect...

Well said Steve  Thanks for not being afraid to speak up in support I don't do a sing and a dance about the whole thing, but if nobody hasn't got the idea yet I do totally bat for both teams, but then I'm not the CEO of Apple so it's no big deal haha and I wouldn't write an essay about it -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

Yeah Kuron, you're right there, it's not by choice and the person is programmed that way at birth. Thanks for pointing that out.

Steve But to try to understand that sexual orientation and gender identity doesn't matter anymore, most of the world has moved on from burning people at the stake ect...I agree but I was trying to say that the Apple Technology seminar, or whatever it's called, was not the place to do that. Typically people go to the event to hear what the newest products will bring. -=-=- DNA |

So, he's gay is he... Well... Good for him, if I'm honest though, as long as he doesn't come onto the stage at a presentation wearing an iBra screaming "I'm free" I really couldn't care less!  Seriously though, in the western world, in 2014... How can something like this be headline news... The man is gay, journalists of the world... Get over it, in other [proper] news, the RAF yet again intercept Russian bombers, the foriegn office declares britains aren't safe anywhere in the world due to the air strikes against I.S., and finally, a public Ebola appeal has raised 4 million quid in 2 days. Now that's important news Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit
