Four years ago, Tim Cook became the first CEO of a major company to come out as gay. He says he's happy about that distinction — and his decision.
"I'm very proud of it," the Apple (AAPL) CEO told Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday in an exclusive interview for her program on CNN International and PBS. Being gay is "God's greatest gift to me," he said.
Cook came out on October 30, 2014. His sexual orientation had been widely rumored beforehand though he had not confirmed it publicly.
"I was public because I started to receive stories from kids who read online that I was gay," he told Amanpour.
He said the emails and letters came from children who said they had been ostracized, bullied or abused because of their sexual orientation.
Cook said he is a private person but ultimately decided that he was being "selfish" by keeping quiet about his identity when he could help people by coming out.
"I needed to do something for them," Cook said. He wanted to demonstrate to gay children that they "can be gay and still go on and do some big jobs in life." Cook said he was shocked that he was the first out CEO of a Fortune 500 company. He said he is glad other CEOs have come out since, although that wasn't his goal.
Coming out has also helped Cook as a leader, he said.

How anyone can take “pride” in sticking the male member in the anus is something I will never understand. Someone might feel some compulsive desire to do it, ok, but it is nothing to be “proud” of....
And adult diapers...
Yeah, you’re right on that. But they’re still very wealthy lefties.
What a theologian.
So god wanted him to take it in the Arse and he’s happy about that?-)
So good to know. The kind of sex you have the night before determines your work the next day. And how good you are as a person.
Can’t worry about that; it doesn’t win them any elections. Evil men have gathered lots of dough to themselves over the millennia; they’re just as dead as their honest contemporaries.
And don’t forget Ezekiel 7:19.
What a sodomite perverted thought. These people are sickos
What a perfect thing to say here as Halloween approaches. It is a good reminder of just how many witches there are and what they really look like.
Why? because he now is surrounded by multiple layers of protection? no one can criticize him or be called gayophobe? Why is it so great?
God cares that sinners like Cook are lost and are going to Hell. And Christians ought to also care about lost souls. And pray they repent.
Luke Chapter 15 is a good case study of how actively God cares for the lost.
Being unable to differentiate defects resulting from the Fall from God’s original intent just demonstrates that he is lost. Sad. No one should have to spend eternity in Hell.
God takes a dim view of blasphemy, Mr. Cook.
That and KY Jelly and Preparation H.
Having another man ram his tool in his butt is a gift? Wow, times have changed.
“Tim Cook: Being gay is God’s greatest gift to me”
I guess the very real risk of catching AIDS is a close second?
Tim Cook believes in God.
What about being a liar?
Did God make you a liar too Tim?
Muzzles will kill him for being gay.
I wonder how many times he’s contracted rectal syphilis.
Didn’t know that about him. Just another in a long list of why I don’t buy Apple products.
Pillar of salt.
