Apple’s gay CEO, Tim Cook, made a rare public speech last week during an event at the UN.

In his speech, he recalled seeing crosses being burned in his youth and facing discrimination himself,

“Since these early days, I have seen and have experienced many types of discrimination and all of them were rooted in the fear of people that were different than the majority.”

He described the values that he found in Apple and its founder Steve Jobs. In particular, the importance placed on ensuring that their products were accessible and Apple’s backing of non discrimination legislation. He went on to state his support of gay rights,

““Now is the time to write these basic principles of human dignity into the book of law.”
