   CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, came out "proud to be gay" today. Tim, at a press conference finally let out to all of the public his sexual orientation, not for accepting reviews, but for his own personal need. He said he "would not stay silent," and was overly happy with his decision. He also quoted Dr. King in his address to the public to relate LGBT's struggle to be accepted to that of the African Americans in the 1960's. He explained that if the CEO of Apple coming out helps other people struggling with the same issue, it was well worth it. 

     I thought this article was extremely interesting, but at the same time really upsetting to think about. The way I look at this is yes, it is great for someone to feel so comfortable coming out to the world that they are gay, but why should they have to even consider the reaction of others? Why is liking the same sex so sinister to some people? It makes you think the people who share the same 99.9% DNA with us are looked at as "imposters" because of who they're attracted to, and can even live their life hiding it in fear.
