Apple's Tim Cook Disclosures That Being Gay is Among God's Greatest Gifts

THE NEW YORK TIMES

CALIFORNIA---It has long been an open secret in Silicon Valley: Timothy D. Cook, the chief executive of Apple, is gay. Vivienne Ming, a technology entrepreneur who was born a man and went through transgender surgery in her 30s, said that Mr. Cook took pains to emphasize that being gay is both core to who he is and also merely one part of him. She said that Mr. Cook was particularly deft when he wrote, “I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.” The wording, she said, directly addresses anyone who might use religion to condemn him.
