Some Ricky Martin news
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 30 March 2010
Ricky Martin is gay. Which I thought we already knew, but apparently not. The singer and father of two issued a lengthy statement on his website yesterday to reveal the news. He said he’d kept his sexuality a secret until now on the advice of others, who told him it would adversely affect his career, but he’s now writing his autobiography and wants the truth to be known.
He told fans: “If someone asked me today: ‘Ricky, what are you afraid of?’ I would answer: ‘The blood that runs through the streets of countries at war, child slavery, terrorism, the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith’. But fear of my truth? Not at all! … I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am”.
