Well it's about time Ricky...

[Beets by Schrute]

In a candid blog posted on his Web site, singer Ricky Martin comes out, revealing that he is gay.

Ricky spoke about his fears, writing: "Many people told me: 'Ricky it's not important,’ 'it's not worth it,’ 'all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse,’ 'many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature.' Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions."
The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer continues, "These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed."
The father of twins ended his blog post writing, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."

I'm happy for him but as has been said in similar threads in the past it's a shame that in this day and age people still have to hide it.

[Grendel]

Oh, like that's a snorking surprise. One of my buds who has no gaydar whatososmurfing ever figured that out about the tenth time he saw him.

So true.

[darthalexander]

Wow, surprise of the century there...

I personally don't care if he is (or anyone is), but it is sad that many people still feel they have to hide it.

[Alucard]

You know what sucks?

Ricky Martin is gay but he's still probably slept with more beautiful women than I ever will in my entire life.

That said, glad he's being honest and open with himself.

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

Where has he been?

Closet apparently.

[Orange]

I guess I'm the only one a little surprised by this news? I really wasn't sure if he was gay or not, I just thought he was flamboyant I'm glad he's happy and content enough to be open with it though, so good for him!

[Young Game]

Rob?




"Not a big surprise. If you think about it. Good for him."

Uhhhh....

Who should tell him?

Seriously, good for him too do this.

[Bravo Echo November]

Good for the man. Shoot, I'll put on Livin La Vida Loca right now.

[Ass Dan]

I thought this was going to be Monkey News. Does Ricky Martin own a monkey?

[Tapout]

Thought he came out years ago?

Everyone knew he was gay back when he was actually famous in the 90s.

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

This is as shocking as when Clay Aiken came out of the closet, as in, not shocking at all and we all knew from the first time we saw them.

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

What? Naaaaa...[/cmpunk]

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Then he hopped back in his time machine to the late 90s where he belongs.

We can't have him creating rifts in the space/time continuum like this anymore.
