NEWS FLASH: Ricky Martin is gay

Quote:

After more than a decade of speculation, singer Ricky Martin is finally blowing the doors off the closet. He says that he is gay.

Here is a portion of the statement he released on his website:

"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. ...

This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment.

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 word "happiness" takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.

I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."

UPDATE: GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios released a statement about Martin's letter:

"When someone like Ricky Martin comes out, hundreds of millions of people now have a cultural connection with an artist, a celebrity and, perhaps most importantly, a father who happens to be gay ... His decision to model this kind of openness and honesty can lead to greater acceptance for countless gay people in (the) U.S., in Latin America and worldwide."

probably needs some media attention so figured he'd play this card

not that it matters he's had more gorgeous chicks than any straight guy could hope for

but i guess those rumors of that record executive plowing him when Ricky was a kid are true

News flash: BaoXu is _______

people need to stop posting cool story bro images, they are getting old and outta hand.

this isn't 4chan

news flash!

Ricky martin is back on the news

i havent heard anything from this guy since 2001/02

its a good career move to announce he is gay, at least he is back on headlines now

This would be news many many MANY years ago when we was still a relevant artist. Now, it is just a humorious quip, confirming many people's suspicions.

Tell us something we haven't known for years.

"You"(your avatar) have the same Hairstyle as that Girl and guy in that pic.
