Tim Cook: " We pave the sunlit path toward justice together, brick by brick. This is my brick."

I will personally continue to advocate for equality for all people until my toes point up.- Tim Cook 

Apple's CEO Tim Cook penned a very personal and insightful editorial titled "Tim Cook Speaks Up." In his editorial, Cook discusses his pride in being a gay man and how this has made him more empathetic and aware of issues that minorities deal with. Cook writes, "While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, 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." Cook's letter is worth a read, it serves as a rare call for everyone to, as Cook says, "inspire people to insist on their equality." Check out the piece here.
