Japanese Pop Star Shinjiro Atae Comes Out as Gay
"It has taken me a long time to be able to say I am gay. I could not even say it to myself," he wrote. "However, I've come to realize it is better, both for me, and for the people I care about, including my fans, to live life authentically than to live a life never accepting who I truly am. I hope people who are struggling with the same feeling will find courage and know they are not alone.
Atae said he held the fan event "because I wanted to tell as many of you as possible directly." He continued, "When I think of my work in the entertainment industry and the many things for which I am grateful, it is my relationship with my fans that first comes to mind. I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for standing beside me over the years.
