  1. I think that its okay. It doesn't really matter to me because I don't think it really affects me in any way, because its not "my business". What I mean is that Tim Cook isn't a problem to me.

    it doesn't matter to me because i don't care about peoples sexuality.i think people could be whatever they want to be.its not up to anyone to choose what they are going to be in life they have to live their own life and make there own decisions if they want to be gay that's OK at least they aren't killing people.its not for us to judge because its their life we live ours and they will live theirs and this guy might be gay but he is doing a lot better than us,he is filthy rich bro! :D

    it shouldn't matter whether he is a homosexual or not let him be who he wants to be. it doesn't concern anyone else besides him and his partner. They are the only ones who can judge him. but it doesn't really concern me at all i am straight and it just doesn't concern me.

    I think that its good that he stayed with Apple because if he would've left to another company he would've given them the same ideas and Apple wouldn't stay on top. I dont think his sexuality matters, like c'mon he helped apple get famous like who really cares if hes gay or not it makes no difference.

  30. i say that it really does not matter what sexuality anyone is, their success and their community work is what matters to society. what their sexuality is; its not for us to worry abt.

  31. Being gay shouldn't have anything to do with your career & how you plan on spending your life. being gay just means you dont like the same sex that everyone else does. & if he wasnt to keep this position because he is gay , lawyers should come out.

  33. i think its good for the company to have a gay CEO. It is also good thing that he stayed with Apple because wherever he went he would have gave them his good ideas. If he had gave the other company his ideas then he would have made them better than apple

    i personally believe that it is good that a gay man is very important to the world. i do care because i believe that everyone should be treated equally regardless of their sexual choice. i believe that gay people have been talked a lot about because people think its nasty but everyone have different opinions about everything. i also believe that if that gay guy has what it needs to be that important all my respects to him.

    I think that this article is talking about Tim Cook that he joined apple CEO in 1997. In my opinion that even though hes gay people should except him of who he is and he sounds like a cool person. Also, he's a really intelligent man.
