Ricky Martin: I am a Fortunate Homosexual Man


In a candid blog posted on his Web site, singer Ricky Martin comes out, revealing that he is gay.

Ricky spoke about his fears, writing: "Many people told me: '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."



The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer continues, "These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed."


The father of twins ended his blog post writing, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."

It's true. They were born in August 2008.

Default Ricky Martin comes out as gay
Ricky Martin has said that he wants the world to know that he is gay.

The Latin popstar announced on his official blog today that he is "a fortunate homosexual man".

"I am very blessed to be who I am," he posted.

Martin's sexuality has been the topic of much speculation since his hit song 'Livin' la Vida Loca' hit the airwaves in 1999.

The 38-year-old's declaration was apparently sparked by his decision to write his memoirs.

"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," Martin wrote.

He continued: "Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions."

Martin became the father of two boys, Valentino and Matteo, in 2008. The children were born to a surrogate mother.

Digital Spy.

Thank god.
Mark Salling, next please.
