Tim Cook doesn't have it "not regretted a single minute»
It was in 2014 that the Apple executive wrote a public letter in which he revealed he was gay. In the document, he explained that his sexual orientation had never been a secret within the company, without feeling the need to speak out on the subject more publicly.
Tim Cook took a year to write this letter, knowing that he was receiving messages from minors talking about their own sexuality and their questions. Coming out was also a way “to help others».
The boss of the firm adds: “If the fact that Apple's CEO is gay can help someone who is struggling with their identity, or bring them comfort in their loneliness, or inspire people to work for equality, then this statement is worth overstep my privacy».
For the media, he returns to the subject and explains that coming out publicly was a good decision, indicating: “I haven't regretted it for a single minute. No way».
Tim Cook also explains that he was not afraid of the reaction this would provoke within the company, but rather of external reactions. He rightly recalls: “There are still half of the States[in the USA, Editor’s note]where you can be fired for being homosexual or transsexual».
