Grace Poore in the "New York Times" on Tim Cook's Coming Out

Grace Poore, director of Asia and Pacific island programs at the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, said that depending on his next steps, Mr. Cook could have great influence on political leaders and business partners in Asia, where gays and lesbians face a great deal of discrimination both culturally and under the law.

“He needs to make statements that say we need to treat all employees fairly,” she said. “He needs to make sure Apple doesn’t close its eyes to ongoing discrimination and ongoing hostility to L.G.B.T. people in the workplace.”
