Why do you think he chose to come out now?
It seems like a legit question, why down voted?

#32So Tim just came out an idiot. He thanks god for making him gay, the same god who hates gays decided in his infinite wisdom to make him an object he hates. If he does not see the irony in that statement, then I have to wonder about the intelligence of the person.

#33$AAPL down 1% pre-market :)
That would value a CEO's sexuality at 6 billion dollars. I sincerely hope that has nothing to do with this news.
Well, shareholders may fear that some conservative consumers will want to boycott Apple because of that announce. Not completely illogical.
Or they think that other shareholders will think that and lead to a drop in the share value.

Perhaps because everyone who cares/matters already knew, there isn't really a point in denying or hiding it anymore. A month or two ago some journalist accidentally said it on air if I remember correctly.
Yes, it was a rather dramatic moment on CNBC, with a columnist discussing the fact that no CEO of a major company was willing to be mentioned as gay:

Asked his prediction on what the stock market would do, J.P. Morgan responded: "It will fluctuate".
Re: Tim Cook Speaks Up
#38I wonder how carefully crafted this line was: ... I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me. It seems a particularly odd thing to slip in, on so many levels.

Yep on CNBC i believe( I hate that channel,it's just ridiculous). What was stupid is that one journalist said T.Cook was gay,others insisted he wasnt.Like "noooooooooooo he's not!" multiple times.
That sums up the whole NBC network for me.
Frankly,nobody cared about Jobs sexual life,and he did a good job at shielding his family from the media frenzy.
