Business Apple Chief Tim Cook "Proud to be Gay"

[LequteMan]

Apple's chief executive Tim Cook in a Bloomberg news article has publicly acknowledged his sexuality, saying he is "proud to be gay".

According to him, his announcement is to try to help people struggling with their identity. He says he has been open about his sexuality, but has also tried to maintain a basic level of privacy until now.

"I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others," he wrote.

"So if hearing that the CEO [chief executive] of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy," he added.

Mr Cook said that he had been open about his sexuality with many people, including colleagues at Apple, but that it still "wasn't an easy choice" to publicly announce his sexual orientation.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' " he quoted civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King.

So does this mean our assembly members and executive politicians will stop buying iphones and ipads?

No they won't. Man is the biggest hypocrite after the Devil. In this part of the world, majority remain super sensitive to such matters.
