Apple CEO Tim Cook Granted Restraining Order against Stalker

ADVOCATE: A Virginia woman has been accused of embarking on an escalating months-long campaign of harassment against the out Apple CEO.

A California judge has awarded Tim Cook a restraining order against a Virginia woman accused of stalking the out Apple CEO, trespassing on his property, and threatening to burn down his Palo Alto home.

In the restraining order application, filed last week in the Santa Clara County Superior Court in California, the 45-year-old woman is alleged to have demonstrated “erratic, threatening and bizarre” behavior, including emails featuring images of loaded handguns she claimed to have purchased.

Cook’s lawyers told the judge in their filing that they believe the woman from McLean, Va., is armed and in the Bay Area with intentions of returning to Cook’s home or to “locate him otherwise shortly.”

The court, which found the threat against Cook credible, prohibited the woman from possessing a firearm in addition to having any interaction with Apple employees, including its CEO. She is also banned from all Apple properties, and any violation of the restraining order can result in both jail time and a $1,000 fine. » | Rachel Shatto | Wednesday, January 26, 2022

Why It Still Matters That Apple CEO Tim Cook Announced He’s Gay

SFGATE: Apple CEO Tim Cook’s decision to tell the world he is gay feels a lot like his company’s much-anticipated product launches: The public already knows the news before the event, but the event is momentous nonetheless.

As Cook noted in an essay for Bloomberg Businessweek, he has been quite open about his sexuality with many people. But there’s a difference between friends and colleagues knowing you’re gay and telling the planet.

Just a few years ago, states were writing into constitutions that marriage was strictly between a man and a woman. Now the CEO of the world’s most valuable company can proclaim that he considers “being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”

“The world has advanced to the point that (sexuality) is a total nonissue,” said Gerald Storch, a former CEO of Toys R Us. “Ten years ago, CEOs might have kept it closer to the vest because of consumer backlash.” » | Thomas Lee | Friday, October 31, 2014

Coming-out des Apple-Chefs: Tim Cook bricht das letzte Tabu

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Der Apple-CEO hat sich als schwul geoutet. Auch wenn seine Orientierung kein Geheimnis war, geht Tim Cook damit einen Schritt, den noch kein Top-Manager gewagt hat. Schwule werden in der US-Wirtschaft toleriert - aber nicht akzeptiert.

Tim Cook wuchs in Alabama auf, einem der konservativsten, lange rückständigsten US-Südstaaten. Trotzdem blieb er seiner Heimat verbunden, selbst nachdem er als Apple-Chef zu einem der mächtigsten Wirtschaftslenker aufstieg. Als ihm Alabama jetzt seine höchste Ehre antrug, die Einführung in die Alabama Academy of Honor, nahm er das gerne an.

Seine Dankesrede jedoch nutzte Cook für eine Abrechnung: Im Kapitol der Landeshauptstadt Montgomery rügte er Alabama am Montag für seine Unterdrückung von Minderheiten. Es sei empörend, dass Homosexualität dort immer noch als Kündigungsgrund gelte: "Wir können die Vergangenheit nicht ändern, aber wir können eine andere Zukunft erschaffen."

Der 53-Jährige sprach sich dabei selbst aus der Seele. Dass Cook schwul ist, war ein offenes Geheimnis, seit er 2011 das Erbe des Apple-Gründers Steve Jobs antrat: Cook marschierte in San Franciscos LGBT-Parade mit und rangierte seit Jahren ganz oben in der "Power 50"-Liste der US-Schwulenzeitschrift "Out". » | Von Marc Pitzke, New York | Freitag, Oktober 31. 2014

Politician: Ban Apple CEO Tim Cook from Russia because He Could Have ‘AIDS’ or ‘Ebola’

Vitaly Milonov

PINK NEWS: A homophobic lawmaker is now calling for a lifetime travel ban on Apple CEO Tim Cook, who came out publicly as gay on Thursday morning.

Vitaly Milonov, the politician behind St Petersburg’s anti-gay ‘propaganda’ law that has since been adopted federally by the Russian Parliament, suggested Mr Cook could bring “the Ebola virus, AIDS [and] gonorrhea” to Russia.

“What could he bring us? The Ebola virus, AIDS, gonorrhea? They all have unseemly ties over there,” Mr Milonov told the FlashNord website. “Ban him for life.” » | Scott Roberts | Thursday, October 30, 2014
