"While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged
it either, until now. So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I
consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me. 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. It’s made me more empathetic, which
has led to a richer life. It’s been tough and uncomfortable at times,
but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path,
and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It’s also given me the skin of a
rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO of Apple." - Tim Cook, coming out formally at last in an essay published by Business Week.
