A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And thisis something worth celebrating.
For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that's the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It's my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don't ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I'm at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I'm feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share.
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.
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! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. 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.
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.
What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment. The word "happiness" takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.
I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.
“So true. I think it’s a meme that homosexuals try to promote that effeminate men are supposedly not usually gay. But from what I’ve seen, they turn out to be queer almost every time. I have not met a really limp-wristed co-worker or acquaintance who doesn’t eventually turn out to be queer. That’s not to say that the opposite extreme also turn out to be homosexual (like the Marlboro Man example above). It’s usually pretty obvious when someone practices a lifestyle that sort of morphs their whole appearance and mannerisms into something unholy.”
Many can switch the effeminate thing off and on at will. The company I work for hired a guy that set off no one’s gaydar. After a month or so he started talking and acting somewhat effeminately. It was no big deal. He eventually got layed-off with a bunch of other folks (not for being gay). I later found out he took a job as a teacher at a Christian boys school.
“I now believe that people choose to be gay.”
Even Ricky focuses in his own statement on the behavioral aspect “I am homoSEXual”. Here is the father of two baby boys making a very public announcement about his erotic desire for the elimination feces canal of other males. How could you be any more unqualified to be either a father or a role model for kids? This is too sick for words.
“Elimination feces canal”. I love it! That’s the best way to describe it,IMO. Gays should not be raising children.They should not be able to adopt,either.I feel for any child who is being raised by gays or lesbians. Talk about getting a screwed-up view of the world.
I simply have to ask. Briefly checking your posting history I see that you post exclusively about homosexuals. To be honest, the only thing that concerns me more than militant homosexuals are heterosexuals with unhealthy fixations on homosexuals. So, what’s the story here?
Maybe Ricky and Christina Aguilar can both have sex change operations and exchange genitals...hell, Obamacare will probably even pay for it.
"He's Lyle, the Effeminate Heterosexual/ He's so terribly conjectual./ Why he behaves that way, he's not gay!/ He's just Lyle, he's swishy yes it's true/ But he's as straight as me, and probably you!/ The effeminate heterosexual/ No use getting intellectual/ Because nobody knows why/ He runs like a girl, he throws like a girl,/ Walks like a girl, talks like a girl/ He's Lyle and I'll tell you so help me/ He's all guy"
I hope his kids can cope.
How is Martin a Hollywood figure or an Elitist? He’s not an actor. Just another run of the mill gay singer who hangs around with Madonna. There are many.
hahaha!
You are only the 2nd person to get it. LOL
My wife and I work for a family values ministry. I don’t consider it an “unhealthy fixation” to oppose harming children, or to oppose the promotion of dangerous sexual perversions. Some people may try to ignore it and say “live and let live”, but that is exactly why every civilization that’s ever condoned homosexuality has been destroyed. Your mileage may vary, but I usually find that someone who is adamant on ‘accepting’ homosexual sodomy as a lifestyle, has some vested interest in it themselves. What’s the story here?
Can anybody tell me why this crap is news and why it is posted here on this forum for "discussion"?!
I’m not adamant on accepting anything. However, I have a great many concerns, and I comment on most of them. You on the other hand seem to be singularly fixated on homosexuality. Saying it’s for the children doesn’t fly, because children are threatened on many levels. Poor or biased educations, rampant drug use among preteens, early sexualization, promiscuity, predators of the opposite sex, etc etc etc.
Judging by your posts, you spend more time worrying about homosexuals than homosexuals do. That’s just not normal. I’m honestly not sure what to make of it, which is why I asked.
I take it you have never had kids. If you did, you would understand instantly what a danger homosexuals pose. Dr. Laura Schlessinger spoke frequently about this back in the 90’s. I frequently find that once the details of the homosexual lifestyle are publicized and people are properly horrified by the degeneracy, unrepentant homosexuals try to immediately cloud the issue by insisting “Who cares what these people do in private. Let’s all be friends and accept ‘alternative lifestyles’”. Usually it is the libertarian homosexual types proposing this as though homosexuality doesn’t damage our culture. No offense, but if someone can’t see the mental illness in a male worshipping another males waste elimination organ, then I neither trust that person nor respect their values.
OK Ricky what was the first clue? That Johnny Wier wears the same high heels as you? My mother told my father that Ricky Martin said he was Gay. My father said “who’s he” EXACTLY why he “came out” 20 years after Livin’ La Vita Polka came out by Weird Al.
Wrong again. I have 4 of them all of them grown except for the 16 year old, but she thinks she’s grown.
However, you’re still missing the point. I don’t necessarily disagree with your views on homosexuality. I can’t find much positive about it, and homosexuals themselves seem to be a tortured lot. What I don’t get is your singular fixation, which I’m rather tired of repeating at this point.
