Oh So It's A "Gift" Now?

First the Pope, now Tim Cook:
Tim Cook: 'I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me'
Personally I could care less who's anus Tim Cook wishes to put his penis into. I also didn't need an announcement to know just what he is. I also did not purchase Apple stock because of what Tim did in the privacy of his own home.

This comment however is beyond the pale. Firstly it implies that those of us who are not homosexual, that would be the vast majority of us, are somehow lacking a "gift from God". That's utter bullshit and he ought to be called on it.

Secondly, in nature strict homosexuality = genetic dead end. Therefore it is not biology's "gift" but rather a genetic kiss of death (particularly if you are the last of your line). Of course we are moving into a new realm of artificiality (which I will post upon soon..so much so much) where this kind of bullshit can be thought of as reasonable.

But this is all to be expected in a society in which people think they deserve some kind of special attention and consideration because they are not white, male and heterosexual.
