Privacy remains important to me, and I\u2019d like to hold on to a small amount of it. I\u2019ve made Apple my life\u2019s work, and I will continue to spend virtually all of my waking time focused on being the best CEO I can be. That\u2019s what our employees deserve\u2014and our customers, developers, shareholders, and supplier partners deserve it, too. Part of social progress is understanding that a person is not defined only by one\u2019s sexuality, race, or gender. I\u2019m 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\u2019m best suited for and the work that brings me joy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tim Cook is serious about privacy and so is Apple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gawker outed Tim Cook back in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gawker.com\/5834158\/tim-cook-apples-new-ceo-and-the-most-powerful-gay-man-in-america\" target=\"_blank\">August, 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<li>CNBC host also outed Tim Cook in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeanbaptiste\/2014\/06\/27\/cnbc-host-accidentally-outs-apple-ceo-tim-cook-as-gay-video\/\" target=\"_blank\">June, 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By the way, this is what the Stocks app look like on August 30, 0214.
