The New York Times Shoves Apple's Tim Cook Back in the Closet

[onehandle]

Cook is the CEO of Apple, that company that makes all of the things you either own or want to own at some point in the future. He's also gay. So why is the Times so emphatically saying "There Are Still No Openly Gay Major C.E.O.s" today?

Tim Cook is not openly gay in the sense that Apple.com doesn't feature a large graphic that says "Meet Tim Cook, our gay CEO." Cook's sexuality is an unkept secret, a given from Cupertino to Shenzen—if it's overlooked, it's only because being the head of civilization's most valuable corporation leaves little room for anything else. But the fact remains: Tim Cook is gay, as we pointed out back in 2011. Since then, Cook has been named the most powerful gay person in the world, addressed LGBT rights, and most recently (and prominently), spoken about his own experiences with discrimination.
