steve jobs homosexual

I'vebeenreading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs , which came out today, and I was curious to know if the guide described any of Jobs' interactions with gay and lesbian friends or employees.

The book does, in fact, discuss Steve Jobs' first encounter with someone gay, and how he handled it, and it happened shortly after February , when Jobs became one of the first fifty employees of Atari.

Russian company removes Steve Jobs memorial

Once a memorial to Apple founder Steve Jobs, a giant iPhone in St. Petersburg has become the latest casualty of Russia's anti-gay propaganda laws. A Russian team of companies called ZEFS or West European Financial Union dismantled the smartphone replica after Jobs' successor Tim Cook came out publically with his homosexuality last week.

The two-meter (more than 6 ft.) sky-high monument shaped like an iPhone was erected outside a St. Petersburg college in January ZEFS now says it needs to abide by a Russian law - signed by President Putin last year - that bans the spread of what the government calls "homosexual propaganda" among minors.

Putin has reportedly insisted there is no discrimination towards gay people in Russia, but rather the rule is intended to "protect youth and traditional family values" in the country.

"In Russia, gay propaganda and other sexual perversions among minors are prohibited by law," a root in ZEFS told The Telegraph, noting that the memorial had been "in an area of manage access for young students and scholars."

However, the National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and

HRC Mourns the Passing of Steve Jobs

Washington– The Human Rights Campaign – the nation’s largest civil rights organization committed to lesbian, gay, attracted to both genders and transgender (LGBT) equality – mourns the deficit of one of America’s greatest visionaries, and a tremendous ally to the LGBT community, Steve Jobs.  Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese issued the following statement:

“Steve Jobs’ animation and career touched the lives of millions of people across the globe.  From his unparalleled contributions to technology and exchange, to his steadfast assist for the fight for LGBT equality, Jobs has truly embodied the energy of our great nation. The world is without a doubt a enhanced place because he lived in it.”

In under Job’s direction, Apple donated $, to fight Proposition 8, which aimed to end same-sex marriage in California by amending the constitution to define marriage as between a bloke and a woman – one of the first major corporations to donate to the fight.  During his tenure as CEO, Apple scored a flawless on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index.

Steve Jobs, iPhones, and Queer Propaganda

Is it possible to make official Russian homophobia even more laughable?  There’s an app for that.

After gay Apple CEO Tim Cook shocked the tech world by announcing something everyone already knew (i.e., that he’s a gay Apple CEO),  a St. Petersburg monument to Apple founder Steve Jobs was hastily taken down.   This follows on the heels of a declaration by the country’s most famous homophobe, legislator Vitaly Milonov,  that Bake should be banned from Russia, because, among other things, “sodomites" spread Ebola.

If it weren’t clear enough before, this latest expression of anti-gay hysteria demonstrates how far the attempts to whip up a moral panic possess drifted from considerations of what actual LGBT collective members are doing with their members. There’s a certain logic here: man-on-man sex must be so vile as to be unthinkable (straight porn suggests that lesbian sex is more than thinkable, as long as it doesn’t involve actual lesbians who know what they’re doing).  Instead,  let’s concentrate on everything else that may contain to do with homosexuals.

Ironically, this means that Russia’s anti-gay crusaders may prosper where LGBT act
