The 38 year old Latin singer finally announced to his website that he is gay. Yes, it’s true Ricky Martin is gay but I still loves his music. It has been awhile since I last heard Ricky Martin in the news and I can say, he did really surprised everyone with the announcement letter from his website.
According to the letter, his fatherhood experiences from his twin sons Valentino and Matteo made him reflect and realized that it’s about time to embrace his own nature, about him being gay. True, it takes a lot of courage to announce “that” in public and I salute him for that. My brother said that it doesn’t makes him less of a man if he is gay or not “Muscularity can never be measured in meters or in digits” which I agree so.
True that fatherhood had change Ricky’s life, I wonder what would motherhood has stored for me. I’m excited to feel that glow, Ricky was talking about in his letter
Portions of Ricky’s letter
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.
“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,”
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” “I am very blessed to be who I am.”
