蘋果公司CEO蒂姆·庫克10月30日在美國《商業(yè)周刊》網(wǎng)站發(fā)表文章稱，“我是同性戀我自豪”。網(wǎng)友看到該條消息，腦洞大開：難怪iPhone6容易彎……對于庫克的性取向，你腫么看?

In the essay, published Thursday, Cook said that he has never denied being gay, but has not publicly discussed his sexuality until now: "So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me."

He described how his sexuality has given him an acute social perspective.

“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. It’s made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It’s been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It’s also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO of Apple.”

The revelation comes just days after Cook advocated on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in his home state of Alabama.

在周四美國《商業(yè)周刊》發(fā)布的文章中，蘋果公司CEO庫克說，自己從未否認(rèn)自己是同性戀，只不過從未在公眾場合討論過自己的性取向罷了：“所以現(xiàn)在讓我說得明白點——我是同性戀我自豪。我覺得，同性戀取向是上帝給我最好的禮物之一。”

他描述說，自己的性取向能夠讓他以更精準(zhǔn)的視角看待這個社會。

“身為同性戀讓我更深刻地理解身處少數(shù)群體意味著什么，也讓我獲得了一個窗口，能夠了解其他少數(shù)群體每天面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。這讓我更富同情心，同時讓我的生活更加富足。同性戀的身份曾經(jīng)一度讓我感到很艱難、很不適，但它也給我做自己的自信，只跟隨自己的心而不受困境和偏見的束縛。它也給了我堅強(qiáng)的外衣，進(jìn)而能夠勝任蘋果公司的CEO。”

而就在庫克在《商業(yè)周刊》發(fā)表此番言論之前幾天，他在自己的家鄉(xiāng)阿拉巴馬州演講，呼吁人們采取措施保護(hù)同性戀、雙性戀、跨性別者的權(quán)益。
