According to CEO Tim Cook, he has never denied his sexual orientation, but has not publicly stated that he is gay from a privacy perspective. But if Apple's CEO is comforted by hearing that he's gay, he thinks it's worth the sacrifice of privacy.
In an article, CEO Tim Cook said, 'I'll be clear here. I'm proud to be gay. Being gay is one of the best gifts God has given me. I think it is. '
Being gay gives me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority. Get a glimpse of the challenges faced daily by other minority groups. This enhances my empathy for others and gives me a richer life. Sometimes it was difficult and uncomfortable, but I was confident that I was myself, that I was on my way, and that I would not lose to adversity and prejudice. The skin on the face became thick like a rhinoceros. This is convenient for Apple's CEO.
'Many colleagues know I'm gay,' said Tim Cook, who had previously attended a gay parade in San Francisco.

Apple, which respects diversity and equality, participated in the gay parade in San Francisco on June 29, 2014, saying that 'inclusiveness brings innovation.' Facebook and Google employees also participated in this parade, and although CEO Tim Cook did not participate in the parade itself, he suddenly appeared on the spot and surprised the employees around him.
Apple has long supported the gay, lesbian, and bisexual transgender communities, and has also protested the Arizona law bill that would allow gays to be denied entry. CEO Tim Cook said of the current situation in the United States:
Many states still have legislation that allows employees to be dismissed solely because of their sexual orientation. There are many places where you may be forced to evict from a landlord because you are gay, or you may be prevented from visiting your sick partner or inheriting heritage. Countless people, especially children, face fear and abuse every day because of their sexual orientation.
