Gay Tim Cook

What I find peculiar was his statement: "I'm proud to be Gay."
If someone said I'm proud to be straight. Or I'm proud to be pure laine, would this be met with the same sort of blasé response by the media?

Apple should boycott all countries that are not gay friendly. That'll teach those countries a lesson.
Everyone already knew he was gay anyway so what's the point of his press release.
Is Elton John going to have a press conference next announcing he's gay just in case someone out there doesn't know.

No one should be proud to be gay. No one should be proud to be straight. Or male, female, black, white, Asian, tall, short, or any other trait that is not under a person's direct control.
I can understand being proud to overcome the challenges of being a minority, but the pride comes from your character, not from your background.
WEll here’s how Milonov feels about it:

Question: Should Apple and other major corporations boycott countries, suppliers and customers that are not gay friendly?
That is exactly the reason that if I was a shareholder I would be pissed ! I would not be pissed that he is gay, I would be pissed that he made being gay an Apple corporate issue. They sell equipment & software - not morality !
I thought he was doing very well with Apple (dropping lawsuits, picking the best features independent of who had them first, etc) but this is a stupid self-centered admission to make if he is CEO of Apple. My guess is that he isn't that stupid - either it was coming out soon anyways or he was being blackmailed.
The problem is that apple has negotiated with many governments that for their own reasons are anti-gay. You are putting public pressure on them to distance themselves with Apple if it appears that Apple suddenly is a pushing western values.
Elton John is gay and he has a home in Caledon.
As for Tim Cook, The Rock saz IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GAY, your company is still not getting my money.
