Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'I’m proud to be gay'

On Thursday morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook came out of the closet. In an op-ed for BusinessWeek, the man who took over the helm of America's storied tech company from Steve Jobs said "let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me." Cook explained that while his sexual orientation wasn't a secret at Apple, coming out publicly could "inspire people to insist on their equality." You can read the full op-ed at BusinessWeek.
