If the CEO of the biggest company on earth says "I'm proud to be gay" then I hope that this will be shifting attitudes and eventually make a difference to people who suffer merely because they belong to some minority or other. I don't pretend to have any great insight into their plight, not being a member of any minority I'm aware of, but I do feel that this has got to be a strong signal for anybody rallying against bigotry.
Just saying,

If the CEO of the biggest company on earth ( I think the Catholic Church is bigger) is proud to be gay why should his announcement mean anything to anyone other than himself. Rallying against bigotry is quite a statement. Your comment and wording could be construed as bigotry or at least patronising at best.
I fail to see why anyone who has an opinion which differs from the vocal minority is construed as a bigot. I always thought we were all entitled to have our own opinions and just like the minorities, entitled to voice them.
