In his column, the Apple (AAPL, Tech30) chief said that he had tried to maintain "a basic level of privacy." But he said he decided that desire for privacy was stopping him from working for the benefit of others. "I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others," he said. "So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy."   -http://www.cnn.com/     어휘 come out 동성애자임을 밝히다 maintain 유지하다 privacy 사생활 activist (정치・사회 운동) 운동가, 활동가 come to terms with something (좋지 않은 일을) 받아들이는 법을 배우다 equality 평등 trade-off 맞바꾸기, 교환
