LGBTQ Chief Executive Officers of Business Enterprises
History was made in when Tim Cook, the Principal Executive Officer of Apple Inc, publicly announced that he was gay. He is the first CEO of a Fortune corporation to openly declare himself a member of the LGBTQ society. Tim Cook's venerable global profile ensured that his announcement became news around the world. This represented a major step forward in the both the public presence of the LGBTQ community and its fight for equality.
