It was San Francisco Pride’s 44th Annual Festival according to the event’s website. The event had a full calendar of performances, as well as a parade.
Cook was recently outed by CNBC host Simon Hobbs on a CNBC panel discussion. Cook has yet to publicly come out.
Reuters reported that Cook greeted and mingled with employees and their families but did not march in the parade.
A hashtag of #applepride was created for the event and was tweeted by hundreds of people at the event. Apple employees passed out cards for free songs on ITunes, as seen in the tweet below.
