  2. ¡Bienvenido al sol, Ricky! Aquí fuera es mucho más agradable. ¡Y me alegro de saber que otra celebridad masculina tan guapa sea de nosotros!
    Welcome to the sunshine, Ricky! Much nicer out here. And so nice to know that another cute male celebrity is one of us!
    PS – PN, please make the post-on codes more readable. Have pity on middle-aged eyes!

  3. “Fortunate” and “proud”? Then why the wall of silence about his sexuality and marketing himself as a latino ladykiller. Shame that being proud only materialised once he’d established himself. How are the record sales these days anyway? Flagging at best.

    Congratulations Ricky Martin. You’ve had quite a journey so far, and I’m betting you will be an asset to the international LGBT community.

    Wonderful news.

  14. Apparently this news was issued because a small group of nomadic Laplanders hadn’t already guessed this about ten years ago along with everyone else on the planet.

  15. We ALWAYS know what we like best…it’s just so self-evident and nothing else feels quite as comfortable. Ricky, in spite of the turmoil, you now own your “comfort zone” as never before. HANG ON TO IT!!!

  16. Kudos for Ricky. Damn shame how the Puerto Ricans (my race) are putting him down. Especially an evil homophobic show in Puerto Rico who are burning and lynching him for coming out of the closet. The hispanics are putting him down – so sad that the hispanic population have a very condemned, disgraceful, closed minded, wicked way of thinking for gays. Again bravo for Ricky. It was about time…

    He Bangs He Bangs! Glad I got that in first. Good luck to him in all seriousness. Hope he can now be fully happy. PS apparently Christopher Biggins is gay to who would’ve thought!

  19. So wonderful that he chose to come out just before his autobiography gets published.

    Absolutely no opportunism at there at all!!

    Nah. I’m joking. Good for Ricky Martin.

    As the world thinks “Didn’t he come out years ago? Oh well at least John Travolta is still straight … oh wait!”

  20. In other news, Terry Wogan reveals he’s Irish.

  21. Martin became a father in 2008 to twin boys born to a surrogate mother.

    He said that his sons convinced him he had to be open.

    Kids are so damn precocious these days!! lol

  22. As a gay dad, it is good to see another out gay dad in the public eye.

  23. If his kids got him to see the light, great. Living life openly and honestly is a great lesson for kids. Too many live life in the dark, harming themselves and sometimes other.

    Welcome to the family, Ricky! All the best to you.

    I can’t help comparing your comment to the others…. are you well? or have you always been a backbiter?

  26. So much time has been lost in his denial. but then a vast majority of gay men are in the same boat. Take too long in coming out. Men seem that they cannot be true to themselves. Always trying to be someone or something that they are not.
