Ricky Martin: I Am a Fortunate Homosexual Man
After years of scrutiny, Ricky Martin has come out of the closet.
Martin just posted the following message on his official website: "Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment ... 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."
He ends his post with, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."

And why do I care? It's been obvious for years to everyone. Guess what - I am a fortunate HETEROSEXUAL woman and blessed to be who I am...but I don't go around making a big deal of it. You entertainers/Hollywood folks need to realize that NOT EVERYONE is interested in whether or not you are gay. I say "Grow up and realize the world does NOT revolve around you"!!!

To AZNeme......I think you are spelling your name wrong, it should be ASS. If you bought his recorda all along why would you stop buying them now just because he said he is a hmosexual? It is the closeted gays like ytourslef that make it bad for everyone else.

WOW. Reading some of these comments is pretty sad. Most of the closed minded ingnorant people that made comments could'nt even spell.
Ricky, walk your path, stand up tall and proud, and ignore those closed minded, ignorant people. Have pity on them instead.
That is basically what my Mom told me over 20 years ago when I first came out.
Namaste

You all will rot in hell that is a promise God has made to all. Read the best book ever written. With Gods help in prayer anyone can over come anything. That is whats wrong with our world now. So wake up people. God did not make junk we as people have chosening to make junk by not following is comandments and his word. I will pray for us all for forgiveness and hopfully you all will do the same for your souls.

sorry, but you are full of sh...t! I don't believe you feel like this deep inside for one minute. You will always try to justify how you feel as a gay so you can be accepted by the masses. I have so much to say about this. That's probably a whole other web site blog.

Hey AZNeme...I bet you voted for John McCain...one of the other homophobes in AZ...may your life be short, full of poverty and extreme difficulty. Maybe in your next life you'll be a little more educated.

i applaud you for choosing to live and live honestly. can someone reflect on the affect that he had on his wife and her life until he decided he wanted to come out?
