It's the CEO of Apple - someone who is basically worth all of the money, ever. He could probably pay off the entire deficit from the change he rakes out from the sofa. If he doesn't want to be outed, you don't out him.

Media obeys the money. So does the White House, but they cost less.

Everything obeys the money. We worship and idolize wealth.

Not only will Obama congratulate him, he would more likely than not, propose to him at the same time.

When he took over Apple, there were even articles about how great it was that a homosexual was running such a large company.
