longstocking I think, if it's possible, that you're both right. In 2014, it maybe sucks for Tim Cook to have to come out as gay, for all the reasons thenewgreen mentions. He has shareholders, he has huge responsibilities, he has public scrutiny. It also sucks for some kid to come out as gay, for the reasons longstocking mentions. That kid has no money, maybe no home -- I've known a few -- and potentially no other support system. -- Stop arguing, if you even are arguing, I can't really tell. Life is too short to argue. Or whatever. I'm about to go make another white russian with added pumpkin spice liqueur. I'll make time for that shit, but not arguing. -- Uh, by the math I guess, odds are something like 40-50 of the Fortune CEOs (maybe less due to societal selection) are gay, but the only one who has come out, ever, seems to be Tim Cook (I didn't actually read the article because I don't read articles if I have a 75% change of guessing what they say beforehand^). Tim Cook's at the top of the "Fortune CEO" world. So there is something in that. If it was an easy thing to do, the CEO of rich company number 432 would be out. You could also argue that maybe it's only news if Apple CEO does it, so CEO 432 just hasn't bothered. I don't know. ^My guess: Tim Cook's the only openly gay CEO and that's a shame!
I'm definitely not trying to argue, I did however take exception to this phrase: Only Tim Cook and that homeless kid will know how difficult it was for one another to come out. longstocking, I apologize if my comments upset you. I used some inflammatory words "stupid" etc. That wasn't cool. My sincere apologies. Somewhere in here is a discussion worth having though.How are the downtrodden queer folx aka the real people of the world

I don't honestly really know what that means but nonetheless, yeah, there's a discussion to be had someplace. This Cook event/issue is more interesting than I first gave it credit for being.How are the downtrodden queer folx aka the real people of the world
