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.

Should we ping Swordmaker?
The 1.5 percenter is proud engaging in high-risk behaviour?
There, fixed it.
Poor lost soul, it wasn't God.
“I’m the CEO of Apple, and you can [suggested act goes here].”
If he is proud to be gay and I am proud not to be gay which of us, if either, is the bigot?
BFD, if this was 10 years ago, he would be scared crapless that someone would find out. Dif story now. Takes more stones these days to say you are proud to be straight.
I agree, who cares about his orientation.
By the way Dallas, those are GORGEOUS pictures on your FR “about page”.
This comes as a complete shock to me.
I thought he was already out and that everyone already knew he was gay.
Thanks. Past vacations when I could afford it.
Oh Lord.
I don’t care.
...and I’m annoyed that you felt the need to let the world know your personal business.
Samsung.
I wonder how many times he performed oral sex on Steve Jobs and the other Apple higher ups.
Isn’t that special?
...
I guess I don’t ever wonder about anyone’s personal habits...unless it’s right out there. Somethings are just a given, but I don’t want to hear it. Now when I look at Apple I’ll see a gay rainbow and feces.
Watch the Apple stock plunge...
It might be politically correct to be a queer here, but Apple will not be selling phones or other toys in the part of the world that isn’t PC.
I’d expect the stockholders to call for his resignation.
And I’ll be proud to never buy another one of your products.
Who gives a flying fig as long as he can pay for his own AIDS treatment instead of the taxpayers getting screwed?
It was the god of this world who gave him that gift. He will pay eternally for that gift.
wow, how trendy and cool
