Tim Cook's gay 2014 news reached the mainstream media as he came out of the closet in a recent letter, after the press had speculated about his sexuality for years. As he told the press, not only is Tim Cook gay, but 2014 has brought him the opportunity to speak out about his sexuality and talk openly about what it has meant for him to be a gay man and the head of one of the biggest and most important companies in the world.
Tim Cook's gay 2014 confession came in Bloomberg Businessweek, one of the largest and most important business magazines in the world. In the heartfelt letter, Cook writes that he was inspired to speak out about his sexuality by great men like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, who did their part to make a better world - and Tim Cook's gay 2014 confession came, as he says, as his "brick" in the construction of a better world for others.
As mentioned by TIME Magazine, Cook has been known to be a very private figure, rarely letting the press into his personal life. However, in an interesting twist, he has decided that it's time for him to come out of the closet, particularly if this would help other people around the world acknowledge their sexuality.
An open secret to the world, the press had long speculated about Cook's sexuality. In the essay, the man who inherited the biggest spot in Apple, Inc. from Steve Jobs confesses that many of his coworkers knew he was gay, and that it was never a problem for him, but he confesses that the fact he works in Apple had a lot to do with it, saying he's lucky to work in a company that loves "creativity and innovation" and celebrates people's differences.
"While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven't publicly acknowledged it either, until now," Tim Cook's gay 2014 confession reads "So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me."
