CNBC Host Accidentally Outs Apple CEO Tim Cook During A Live Segment
New York Times columnist James B. Stewart appeared as a guest to discuss his column about former BP CEO John Browne. “There are gay CEOs in major companies, and I reached out to many of them,” Stewart said. “I got an extremely cool reception, not one would allow to be named at all.”
During the discussion, co-anchor Simon Hobbs chimes in with this comment:

The desk falls completely silent.

Hobbs backtracks quickly adding, “I thought he was open about it.”

Stewart’s response: “Hmm, no.”

Stewart continues, “I don’t want to comment about anybody who might or might not be. I’m not going to out anybody.”
Though Cook has yet to speak directly about his sexual orientation, he consistently speaks about LGBT rights as a human rights issue.

CNBC accidentally outed Apple CEO Tim Cook as gay. It's 2014, who cares? It's not like they outed him as a Microsoft user.
