[i=s] 本帖最后由 xln1120 于 2014-10-31 17:08 编辑 [/i][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]Apple CEO Tim Cook says he's proud to be gay.[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]苹果公司首席执行官提姆·库克称，作为同性恋他感到非常自豪。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The public declaration, in an essay written for Bloomberg Businessweek, makes Cook the highest-profile business CEO to come out as [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/98642.html]gay[/url]. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Cook said that while he never denied his sexuality, he never publicly acknowledged it, either. The executive said that for years he's been open with many people about his sexual [url=http://dict.qsbdc.com/orientation][b]orientation[/b][/url] and that plenty of his Apple colleagues know he is gay. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Cook wrote in the column published Thursday that it wasn't an easy choice to publicly disclose that he is gay, but that he felt the acknowledgement could help others. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I've come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me back from doing something more important,'' he wrote. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Three days ago, Cook challenged his home state of Alabama to better ensure the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Alabama is among the states that do not recognize same-sex marriage, and it also doesn't offer legal protections on the basis of sexual orientation or [url=http://dict.qsbdc.com/gender][b]gender[/b][/url] identity. [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/98642.html]Cook[/url] is a native of Robertsdale, Alabama, and attended Auburn University. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me,'' Cook wrote in the essay Thursday. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The executive said that "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.'' [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Cook said he's been lucky to work for a company that "loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when you embrace people's differences.'' [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Cook succeeded Apple [url=http://dict.qsbdc.com/founder][b]founder[/b][/url] Steve Jobs as CEO of [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/98642.html]Apple[/url] Inc. in 2011.[/size][/font]
