Omg Apple CEO admit he's Gay!!!

Apple CEO Tim Cook has, for the first time,
written publicly about his intimate orientation in an
essay published in Businessweek Thursday.
"I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay
among the greatest gifts God has given me," Cook
writes.
Cook says in the essay that for years he has been
open with many people about his intimate
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 adds that while he never denied his sexuality, he
had not publicly acknowledged it either.
Writing about his motivation to discuss his sexuality
publicly, the Apple boss cites Dr. Martin Luther
King's quote:
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What
are you doing for others?’ I often challenge myself
with that question, and I’ve come to realize that my
desire for personal privacy has been holding me
back from doing something more important."
Earlier this week, Cook challenged his home state of
Alabama saying it was too slow to guarantee the
rights of minorities during the civil rights era, and
it is currently too slow to ensure the rights of
people based on intimate orientation and gender
identity.
In June, during a CNBC "Squawk on the Street"
segment, co-anchor Simon Hobbs accidentally "outed"
the CEO as being openly gay while asking columnist
Jim Stewart: “I think Tim Cook is fairly open about
the fact that he’s gay at the head of Apple isn’t
he?".
