Apple CEO Tim Cook came out Thursday, announcing that he is gay in a column in Bloomberg Businessweek.
"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," he wrote.
Cook has not publicly discussed his sexual preferences before now, despite some rumors and speculation that he is gay.
A year ago he announced support for a federal law which would have protected workers from facing discrimination based on their sexual orientation.
"For too long, too many people have had to hide that part of their identity in the workplace," he wrote at the time.

It’s called Google. Unfortunately, they don’t appear any more moral than Apple or Microsoft.
If I whip out my heterosexuality "in the workplace", I could be canned for harassment.
Unless you work in an establishment which has sex as part of its business, it should be under wraps, whatever you do in your spare time.
I am not dismissing the compulsion itself as a choice. It is just like drug addiction. The addict believes that he does not have a choice. He has to use drugs. And when someone approaches the addict and tells him/her that it is possible to live without drugs but it requires giving up everything that is deemed important to them, they will reject it. The same applies to homosexuality. While the decision may seem impossible to them, it is still a decision.
So their media campaign wouldn't have worked on the people who don't share their proclivities if those proclivities weren't chosen?
I have to admit though, yours is one of the most elegant renditions of the schoolyard "you think you are, but you're not" I've seen to date.
Thanks for the clarification. It’s an important distinction.
It’s just sad that the culture has devolved to where people can be convinced that their entire identity and value as human beings is based upon who they’re attracted to; and that to even want to change something that may be tormenting you is a wrong way to think.
What’s to be “proud” of?
Where you prefer to stick your joystick is something to be “proud” of?
“Why did that not come out in his disclosure statement, PRIOR to being named CEO?”
They knew. Maybe that is why he was named the CEO ...
The homos and their leftist supporters are “proud” of what they believe to be the best way to shake a fist in God’s face.
All the people that already knew of his penis loving proclivity should have been enough, the public announcement is just the homosexual agenda.
iPutz?
From Steve Jobs to blow jobs....................sad.......................
Anyway, I guess this is timed to help distract Obama voters for another day before the elections. Look forward to other distractions between now and Tue.
How is boinking fellow males A God given gift?
God made woman for man. And to reproduce.
If you are proud to be a pervert that is your business we don’t need to hear about .Your choice and we don’t need to know .
You are correct! Nobody cares what the queers do with their body parts...if they would just shut up about it.
And put an optical drive back in the MBPs.
Sorry. I don't get it. A portable computer and you have to lug around a separate optical drive to read DVDs.
Yeah, I know, the 'cloud', thumb drives, etc. but there's plenty of DVD programs out there.
We will only be happy if you embed videos of you having gay sex in every single Apple device shipped.
We really care about this so much, we need to see video.
