    Apple chief executive Tim Cook has publicly acknowledged his sexuality, saying that he is "proud to be gay".

    Mr Cook made his announcement to try to help people struggling with their identity, he wrote in a Bloomberg Businessweek article.

    He has been open about his sexuality, but has also tried to maintain a basic level of privacy until now, he said.

    This week Mr Cook challenged his home state of Alabama to ensure the rights of gay and transgender people.

    "I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others," he wrote.

    "So if hearing that the CEO [chief executive] of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy," he added.

    Mr Cook said that he had been open about his sexuality with many people, including colleagues at Apple, but that it still "wasn't an easy choice" to publicly announce his sexual orientation.

    He quoted civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King, saying: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' "

        I am not really a gay advocate, but I agree...who gives a crap?

        Maybe....maybe .0124 of their customer base will go somewhere else...probably gain more by being gay.

              My cousin saw an Android commercial where a guy proposed to another guy and said it was time to ditch his Android and go to Apple. I guess now he's going to have to choose between Blackberry and Windows.

                The anchor Simon on CNBC outed him a couple months ago unintentionally ... it was pretty awkward.

                Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                      This just in. Apple will be dropping the popular voice app Siri and replacing it with an updated and reported sassier version called Stephen.

                        I always thought Apple users were gay, so it's about time they catered to their demo

                          Dude, gays have more money, no she-devil to perform a cash-rectomy. It's just smart business practices. Android is ahead of the curve (see post 9).
