Latin singer Ricky Martin who gained Worldwide fame for his song Livin' La Vida Loca used his Twitter account to blast the news that which contained a link to a page on his website Rickymartinmusic.com. Well, the site he directed followers to is not working as of 4:17 PM PST. What comes up is "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)."
After poking around , it was apparent that the website link Ricky Martin has on his twitter account is the wrong one. Now, it's Rickymartin.com
According to the Associated Press, Ricky Martin, who's 38, decided he didn't want to keep any secrets in the closet. But what closet? Frankly this blogger was surprised to learn Ricky Martin was straight. Yeah, Ricky Martin has two kids and women love to see him move, but Martin activated on my "Gaydar' every time I saw him. So no surprises here.
What do Ricky Martin fans think? There were 303 comments on his website; here's a sample:

Ricky - Your friends will always be your friends, your family will always be your family, the people who genuinely respect you as a father and an artist could care less who you are sleeping with. Continue to live your life with the same amount of dignity and pride you have done so far and let the naysayers and the haters burn in hell. It's not my place to judge your lifestyle, I love your music, and your humanitarian service, and the rest is your personal business. You have just as much right to love anyone you please (man or woman) as the next person. Never feel ashamed!

Hi. Congratulations on finally freeing yourself from the ball and chain that living a closeted life is. The load off your shoulders must be monumental. you are now free to pursue hapiness in the fullest of ways. i hope you will continue to give us more of the wonderful music you have given us over the years. Best to you and yours.
Some commenters think Ricky Martin will be peppered with "judgements and criticism" as one person wrote, but in this day and at this time I really don't think Martin's decision to come out has as much impact as it would have had he done it in the 1990s. As long as Ricky Martin doesn't go "Adam Lambert" and act like the Angry Gay Guy he's OK.
Frankly, I'm relieved. I don't have to get jealous when women talk about Ricky Martin's moves any more! Ricky Martin will do alright; the bottom line is that he's happy.
Gay Community Begs Ricky Martin To Re-Enter Closet

people ALWAYS assume you are straight if you don't announce you are not, that's why you need to come out. I just got tired of people asking whether I had a girlfriend or not, or what my taste in girls was, or setting me up with some girls. My family kept on pressurizing me to find a girlfriend. .... so I told them I'm gay.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if gay people were treated totally the same as straight, then announcing your sexuality would be redundant and unnecessary. But in reality it's NOT, that's why announcing your sexuality is important. It says: we're queer, we're here, we're not mystical beasts existing in novels. We are real, normal people who deserve to live happily just like everyone else. We're not just some weird fictional character in a comedy show.
