It is very brave for Apple’s Tim Cook to come out, and we should all think about why Cook is doing this. In my opinion, we all should be proud of who we are. Not all gays and lesbians are lucky to live in a world that people respect individuals that are different. For example, some people in China still don’t show respect to homosexuals, and many gays and lesbians are suffering from this. If more homosexuals come out like Cook did, more people will start to understand others that are different. Making choices are not easy, but sometimes you need to make some differences for yourself and others. I love how Cook describe himself. That is, “I’m an engineer, an uncle, a nature lover, a fitness nut, a son of the South, a sports fanatic, and many other things. I hope that people will respect my desire to focus on the things I’m best suited for and the work that brings me joy.” I feel that being myself makes me comfortable. Let’s be proud of who we are.
