In his editorial, Cook discusses his pride in being a gay man and how this has made him more empathetic and aware of issues that minorities deal with.

Cook's letter is worth a read, it serves as a rare call for everyone to, as Cook says, "inspire people to insist on their equality." Check out the piece here.

Nexus 6 will likely be available through various carriers in the US in the coming weeks as well as other regions, including Canada, sometime in early November.
