Ricky Martin is gay. Okay? Got that? Good. Because ladies, like George Michael, it doesn’t matter how much you fancy him because, unless you’re in possession of some unsightly testicles, he wouldn’t touch you with a shitty stick.
However, like many homosexuals, Ricky found it difficult to come out of his closet.
What made it even worse for the singer is that he was petrified of announcing his sexuality to the world because he was under the impression that homosexuality was ?evil?. Surely that only adds to the thrill of it with some?
Of course, we’re being glib about someone’s life changing decision to tell everyone what sort of human they’d like to have sex with. The ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ sing told all on his website last year in a rather emotional message and admitted that it took him years to be honest with everyone, himself included, because of societal and career pressure.
He said:
“Being Ricky Martin back then and what I was feeling were not compatible.
“I was the sex symbol and I needed to dance and I needed to make girls crazy and I couldn’t say that I was gay. It was a lot of struggle.
“If you add to that whether you call it culture, religion, society but what I was feeling, according to what I had in my mind, was evil and I'm very lucky today that what I have in my mind is love and I'm very happy.”
The headaches you get from sniffing poppers is pretty evil too. Sadly, there’s no cure for that.
Anyway, Ricky is now out and proud and there’s a lot of people who just couldn’t give two hoots about which gender makes his bits twitch.
“[Many people said] ?yeah what's new?? But it is about what I was feeling.”
“And my own fears and my struggles and I know there are a lot of men and women out there that are struggling with that.”
Well done Ricky Martin. You’re like a modern day Jesus. Only gay. And a better skin-care routine.
