Apple CEO Comes Out As Gay
That Tim Cook (pictured), CEO of Apple, is gay has long been an open secret: Gawker reported the fact in 2011, before Cook succeeded Steve Jobs. But now Cook himself has acknowledged it, in a Businessweek essay. Cook writes: ‘Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day.’ So why is this coming-out significant? Well, in case you didn’t know, Apple is the most valuable corporation in the world, capitalized at $463 billion, and a gay man sits at the top of it. We rule, bitches, get used to it!
