ONTARIO, Canada (The Adobo Chronicles) – In a no-holds-barred interview with Men’s Health magazine, Canadian teenage singing idol came out to his fans and critics alike. Bieber’s coming of age is the cover story of the magazine’s new issue.

Bieber, whose singing career in the United States has been marred by encounters with the law, now wants everyone to consider him a man, no longer a kid. “I’ve left the kid in me in the closet. I’m a new man,” he said.

The singer turned 21 on March 1.

Expect to see more of him in adult-only places. And who knows what troubles that would bring!

Seattle, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles) – What a ‘National Coming Out Month’ October was!

First, Apple CEO Tim Cook officially came out as a proud gay man, confirming what many in his inner circles already knew about the successor to the late Steve Jobs.

Today, Microsoft’s founder and chairman Bill Gates announced at a developers forum in Seattle that he was ‘straight.’

“Most everyone already knows that,” Gates said, ” but I wanted to make it official in the hope of inspiring young people who are unsure of their sexuality to come forward and categorically state their preference. Being straight should not be a barrier to success.”

While Cook has become the first openly gay leader of a major U.S. company, Gates’ announcement makes him the richest man in the U.S. to come out.

Now, there is hope for young gay or straight men and women to break the glass ceiling and become billionaires — thanks to role models Cook and Gates.
