Yes, it puts the onus on me to deny or admit that I'm gay when its none of your business.
LOL. That's not "outed," FFS.
- We don't know anything about Tim Cook's sexuality or personal relationships (with men or women)
- We know that Tim Cook openly supports LGBT rights
- Most people that have thought about it believe he's probably gay, but still "in the closet" when it comes to public matters
- Some guy mistakenly thought Tim Cook was open (out of the closet) in a conversation
- The guy was WRONG
You simply can't "out" someone's secrets without revealing something that was not previously known to the public. How can you not understand that?
I remember when Steve Jobs was presenting the iPhone 4 and he was so thin I thought he was close to death. Months later, Geraldo was on a TV program discussing an actor that was dying of cancer. He said something like: "Don't forget Steve Jobs. He had pancreatic cancer and he beat this! There's still hope!" It stuck with me because it was so stupid: 1) The name is pronounced "Jobbs," not "Jobes" / "Joe-bs." 2) The public was well aware that Steve J had been dying of cancer for years and there had been NO new information about the matter (as a businessman, Steve J didn't want his imminent death to impact the company). Every recent appearance seemed to confirm that he was
not recovering.
Talkers on the news sometimes make incorrect assumptions. An incorrect assumption cannot "out" someone. To "out" someone, you must reveal a secret that was not known publicly.
[edit]
...like the photo that showed Steve Jobs could no longer stand on his own.
