Timothy D. Cook, Apple's chief executive, said he was "proud to be gay" in an essay published early Thursday, becoming by far the most prominent executive of a public company to come out.
"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," Cook wrote in the essay, published by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Cook, 53, has never spoken publicly about his sexual orientation in the many years he has worked in the spotlight at Apple.
In his essay, Cook also noted that he had spent much of his life trying to keep his personal matters private, which is why he had not previously spoken in public about his sexual orientation.
