Today's Icon is: Malcolm Forbes. Malcolm Forbes was an American businessman and publisher of Forbes, a magazine founded by his father in 1917. It was only after his death in 1990 that he was outed in a story called “The Secret Gay Life of Malcolm Forbes,” written by Michelangelo Signorile. In the controversial exposé Signorile asked, “Is our society so overwhelmingly repressive that even individuals as all-powerful as the late Malcolm Forbes feel they absolutely cannot come out of the closet?”
Here is a link to his short bio:
