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.

“God cares that sinners like Cook are lost and are going to Hell.”
Gud made him a homosexual. Why would God send him to hell?
Coincidently, in church last Sunday we were asked what God’s greatest gift to us was. Actually we covered the top 3. Being gay was definitely not on the list.
The nuns taught us that unanswered prayers are God’s greatest gift.
Amen to your prayer, FRiend.
This poor soul now awaits Gods final judgement....without appeal...without hope.....destined for outer total darkness and the gnashing of teeth.
....eternally separated from the Father who loved him so much that He sent his ONLY Son to love and die for him...and his sins......
he is now
alone forever....
Desolate forever....
in fire forever....
hopelessness forever
...eternally.
GET THIS TRUTH mortal man.....!!
Prayers for those who ....STILL HAVE TIME.....to repent of their sin...
Romans 1:22
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
ROMANS 1:24
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
1 TIMOTHY 4:1=2
1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron
good question....God made you attracted to little boys...if you act on that attraction, you should go to Hell....if you restrain from that.....you should have a high place in Heaven......
Hey Tim, shove it up your...er, oh wait.
They do not have to reproduce, they recruit.
“...God made you attracted to little boys...”
Not me. Speak to your own attractions.
Because "being 'gay'" isn't a gift at all.
Nor is it a curse; God doesn't make anyone 'gay'.
Just like every other sin, it's a choice.
God makes men gay after they go to prison and share a cell with Bubba. They discover their fem side, like Bruce Jenner.
Its all very natural. And sick as hell.
Um, no.
It’s a lie of the enemy that will bring you God’s judgment.
“..if you act on that attraction, you should go to Hell..”
There is only ONE eternal sin.
“Faggies don’t reproduce. They recruit.”
With the great help of pubic school teachers and college professors.
Less customers from churches as a result.
No, perverting the use of your natural being is not God’s gift, greatest or least, to you.
His greatest gift, though you ignore it, is the Messiah.
Except: what transpires is not functional sexuality; it is dysfunctional eroticism.
He can afford a caravan of butt boys. Doubt he takes it in his own.
He is too far gone to fear for his own soul. Given over to his own depravity. I wouldn’t wish his fate on anyone and pray he will repent and find Jesus before he dies.
No. If one acts on the attraction he should repent.
You should pray for his salvation.
