Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks at the WSJD Live conference in Laguna Beach, California.
Earlier today, the chief executive of
Apple, Tim Cook, shocked the world by openly coming out as gay and
saying he was proud about it.
Cook who
had previously never denied being gay but neither had he publicly
acknowledged his sexuality, wrote about being gay in an opinion article for Bloomberg describing his sexuality as “among the greatest gifts God has given me.”
The
53-year-old Apple boss said: “I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being
gay among the greatest gifts God has given me,” the boss of the world’s
largest company said on Thursday. “For years, I’ve been open with many
people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at Apple know
I’m gay, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference in the way they treat
me,” he said. Of course, I’ve had the good fortune to work at a company
that loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when
you embrace people’s differences. Not everyone is so lucky.”
“While
I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it
either, until now. So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I
consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”
