I can tell you for a 99.99% certainty that when he was a student at Auburn, he had to have been closeted tighter than an AUMB snare drum. "Those folk" just weren't welcome (at least known and publically) around these here parts back then, sadly enough (and I plead guilty to that attitude in my youth).
I'm sure you are right in large part, but I remember back in the mid-80's when I was in school there was a gay organization that had Eagles in the name. I guess at the time it was kind of courageous to be so open like that. I know some people said "who cares" like it's no big deal, but after reading some of the comments here it will take people like Tim to continue speaking up. I'm getting close to old fart, but find myself very pleased that younger folks today are more open to people who were BORN like that.
I also have had my mind changed so thoroughly on this subject over the past 30 years.

Me too. Why do I care what the heck other people do between consenting adults? You stay out of my business, I'll stay out of yours.

The social climate has changed in the last 30 years or so. I don't know anyone under the age of 25 who has a problem with homosexuality (though I'm sure they exist).

I was at Auburn at the same time as Tim Cook. AU is and has always been a conservative place. In those years though, it seemed very buttoned up.
We'd have religious crazies like "Sister Cindy" who would show up randomly on the concourse at Haley Center preaching Hell Fire and Brimstone. She'd draw a crowd and invariably the Pikes or some other frat jackassses would start taunting her. Woman was like Phyllis from Mulga with a bible. Very high comedy.
So, if you were gay at Auburn in 1980-84 time period, you definitely didnt see them.
