Thread: Apple's Tim Cook Says, Being Gay 'Is God's Greatest Gift to Me'

Four years after becoming the first major CEO to come out as gay, Apple's Tim Cook says he has no regrets.

"I'm very proud of it – yes, absolutely. To me, it is God's greatest gift to me," Cook told CNN in a new interview.

Cook further said he came out as gay to support children who are being bullied.

"I am a private person," Cook said, describing his struggle to make his sexuality public. He added he wanted to show children that "you can be gay and still go on and do some big jobs in life – that there's a path there. That is the reason I did it."

Asked his thoughts on the Trump administration's debate over the definition of gender, Cook said, "My strong view is that everybody should be treated with dignity and respect, and that's the way I look at everyone."

Cook's comments about God sparked a debate on social media.

"I love Tim Cook and Apple but that's a stupid comment," Holly Elizabeth wrote on CNN International's Facebook page. "God didn't make you gay. It was a personal choice."

Another person, Marcia N. Smith, wrote, "I wonder which God is that because it isn't the God of the Bible."

Others, though, applauded Cook.

"I for one am happy to hear he gives Glory to God for his happiness," Marlon Wilson wrote.

Phil 3:9 ... and whose glory is in their shame ...

Cook’s attitude and opinion are common in “elite” circles today. What is the point of saying this and being public? It is just another tactic of the “gay rights” movement to gain acceptance in society and have the public think and believe that homosexuality is “normal”. The “world” continues to accept sin as normal and brings judgement upon itself. Some will call for boycotting “Apple” products. This would change nothing. Just more signs of the times. Even so, come quickly Lord. We need to pray for Cook and live a life that shows forth the love of God in Christ and proclaims the Gospel.

I hate it when people say that it's a "personal choice." Though God did not make him gay, neither did he choose it. He simply developed homosexually as a child, not heterosexually. It happens in our fallen world.

Before it became politically incorrect, a lot of gays claimed that it was a personal choice. Now that it's becoming very mainstream to be gay, there are again more gays that claim that. Let's not pretend that everyone who practices homosexuality feels the same way about it.
