Has Apple Leader, Tim Cook Come Out of the Closet Publicly Yet?

.

I don't think he's in the closet or has been since he was named CEO.

He made a speech about bullying and still didn't admit to being a homo.

"He made a speech about bullying and still didn't admit to being a homo."

There should be a slapp for that.

Walter Isaacson mentioned that Tim is gay in his book about Steve Jobs.

He's been out four years.

Problem with that, OP?

I read Isaacson's book, and I don't remember his saying anything about Cook being gay.

Well, go back and re-read it.

Never thought he was in.

"Walter Isaacson mentioned that Tim is gay in his book about Steve Jobs."

He Cook'd the book.

Didn't know he was family

He isn't bad looking for an older guy - has anyone here had him?

OP - He is 53 years old.

As hard as it might be for you to believe there are lots of gay men in the workforce in their 50s who have pretty much be out almost all if not all of their professional careers.

Just because he all of a sudden shows up on your radar doesn't mean he needs to send you a "coming out" notice.

.

Until Steve got sick and took a couple of medical leave of absences, very few outside of the computer industry had any reason to have heard of native Alabamian Tim Cook.

Tim was tapped to fill in for Steve both times. He did a good job and the Apple board asked him to succeed Steve.

He needs to hit a Jobs-like home run soon though ...

Please take out the comma, OP. Please.

Let me guess: He likes 'em young and Asian?

Damn, now every gay golddigger will be after him.

Tim only dates Windows users because he likes to degrade and abuse them.

Cook should have come out publicly already. He has nothing to lose and the gay community has everything to gain. Kids need role models, and kids love Apple.

Why is that?

No mention of his sexuality on his Wikipedia page.

He is open about being gay. He just doesn't make a big deal about it. So yes he's public, and no, he's not a crusader. He's trying to run a huge company instead.

I would argue that Putin is more powerful.

Uhm, he's always been out, you twats.

Just because he doesn't wear fur coats and show up at Lady Gaga performances doesn't mean he's closeted.

His sexuality has been discussed many times and he's discussed it himself many times.

Sheesh.

He is an EXTREMELY private person and is on record saying he hates talking about himself. Almost everything we know about his personal life is what others have reported. He is out but sees no reason why he should discuss this topic with others.

"He is out but sees no reason why he should discuss this topic with others."

How do you know he's out if he's not talking? I think you are confusing the glass closet with being out

R26 He's out. Everyone knows he's gay, they have known it for a long time. He has talked about it, although very briefly. He just doesn't think its that big of a deal or needs to be the topic of discussion all the time. Not every out gay man feels the need to call attention to it all the time.

I don't agree with you at all, r26.

Not confusing a thing ....

But he didn't bring his boyfriend to the company Christmas party. He brought a lady friend.

Steve always liked gay men and always had them around him at Apple and elsewhere. For some reason he trusted gay guys more than straight guys.

R29 -- Maybe he doesn't have a boyfriend at the moment – jeez Louise!

[quote]Let me guess: He likes 'em young and Asian?

I thought we had an Asian-American poster who keeps insisting no one likes them Asian.

R31 A Google search on "tim cook apple christmas party date" turns up nothing. R29 is pulling this story out of his ass.

"He has talked about it, although very briefly."

Link please

Single at his age??

bump

See the May issue of Out magazine.

Tim is #2 in their Annual Power 50.

Ellen is #1

Seriously, does anyone know anything about his love life?

He must attract greedy chickens the way a flame attracts moths

He was just outed on CNBC, think it was during a live show.

Psst...guys, Ixnay on the gayhay!

He was just outed on CNBC Squack on the Street.

That video is pretty funny. I wonder if Apple will make a statement.

That awkward moment...

This was secret?

Holy crap I just googled him; he is old and not attractive!

^ Did you expect a middle-aged CEO to look like a 20-year-old twink?

Has he responded yet?

He beat up a homo? I mean the man has more gay face than Jim J Bullock and Richard Simmons combined.

That CNBC clip shows that he is NOT out.

Tim Cook has now publicly come out the closest

r50 beat me to it. It's about time. Not really a big bombshell or even anything new. I thought it was widely known a long time ago before that CNBC clip.

People are switching to Android because Tim is gay? I hope they go back to using abacuses after they find out Alan Turing was gay too.

Time for appletinis

[quote]Let me guess: He likes 'em young and Asian?

Yes:

Did anyone post this?(Probably did, but I missed it)

Apple has major virus problems. Millions of Apple products have been infected.

Note the last paragraph of R55's news story:

[quote] Despite Mr Dolgopolov's statement being widely reported in the media, there is some uncertainty over the story. The National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, where the monument stood, tells state news agency Tass that ZEFS had contacted it before Tim Cook's announcement, to say it was taking the iPhone down to carry out repairs.

I hope it's true, R57.

It's one thing for political douchebags to be like this, but you'd expect more from the scientific community.

Coming out has aged him horribly. 58? Looks more like 68 or even 70.

Huh? He looked like that before he came out

Come out as what, an Android user?

Tim Cook came out publicly at the SF Pride Parade in 2014. He's a private person, but I am pretty sure he has a partner. He has a nice body because he runs and works out & eats healthy Whole Foods Food.

Tim's home in downtown Palo Alto, very modest and modern (ugly).

Was he ever in? I’d always heard he was out.

Thanks R62, that was funny.

How are Ellen and him “most powerful?”

Ignore that man behind the curtain!

Vladimir Putin is the most powerful gay around.
