Apple CEO Tim Cook’s ‘Gay’ Confession Sparks Controversy

I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," the top executive of the world's largest company said on Thursday.

"For years, I've been open with many people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at Apple know I'm gay, and it doesn't seem to make a difference in the way they treat me," he said. Of course, I've had the good fortune to work at a company that loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when you embrace people's differences. Not everyone is so lucky."

Cook, who joined Apple in 1998, counted among the best CEOs the tech industry has ever seen. Tim Cook aims to take the company to the great heights. Apple last month launched the much hyped iPhone 6.

Shortly after the news broke late Thursday, the internet, as is tradition, responded on Twitter . Some were just there to make jokes, while others seemed inspired by Mr. Cook's confession.

Here are some selected reactions from twitter...
