30. 9.
Throughout my professional life, I’ve tried to maintain a basic level of privacy. I come from humble
roots, and I don’t seek to draw attention to myself. _____ is already one of the most closely
watched companies in the world, and I like keeping the focus on our products and the incredible
things our customers achieve with them.
At the same time, I believe deeply in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, who said: “Life’s most
persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” I often challenge myself with
that question, and I’ve come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me
back from doing something more important. That’s what has led me to today.
For years, I’ve been open with many people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at
_____ know I’m gay, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference in the way they treat me. Of course,
I’ve had the good fortune to work at a company that loves creativity and innovation and knows it
can only flourish when you embrace people’s differences. Not everyone is so lucky.
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.
