Ricky Martin is GAY?

I always thought of Ricky Martin as a gay person. I think from the very start of his Livin' La Vida Loca career, people already knew he was some kind of queer. His music and his dance moves tell it so. I mean, who would sing and dance in the tune of She Bangs aside from William Hung?

I first heard about this news yesterday through a local TV station. My first reaction was like, "I knew it!" I was not surprised at all, but I'm happy for Ricky Martin because he is finally free. He must have took a lot of courage before finally admitting that he was "proud to say" he was "a fortunate homosexual man". I can just imagine how hard it was to keep his sexuality hidden all through this year just because his advisers had told him that coming out could hurt his career.

BBC News writes, Martin, who fathered two children with a surrogate mother two years ago, said his decision to write his memoirs had helped him to free "things that were too heavy to keep inside".

"Not sharing with the world my entire truth" about his sexuality, he continued, had become "a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage".

Becoming a father, he went on, had convinced him "enough [was] enough" and that things "had to change".

"To keep living as I did... would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with," he said in a posting written in both English and Spanish.
