NEW YORK, N.Y. -- After years of keeping quiet about his personal life, pop star Ricky Martin has announced that he is gay.
"I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man," Ricky said in a message posted on his offical Web site. "I am very blessed to be who I am."
Ricky said writing his memoir and thinking about his two twin sons led him to go public.
"To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where [sic] 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," he wrote.

Didn’t his PR people stage him up with an attractive woman “girlfriend” who swore he was straight some years ago?
Who cares! Shut up and sing!

What? He's gay? Next thing you know, someone will tell me Richard Simmons is gay. Talk about surprises.

Who is Ricky Martin, and who cares, but he shoulda kept it in his bedroom.

Here’s a newsflash for Ricky. I could care less who he sleeps with. Sounds to me like coming out of the closet is a way to jump start his one hit career.

I KNOW!
First Liberace, then Rock Hudson, now Ricky Martin!!
I’m so disillusioned.
I’ve been led astray, lied to and tricked.
All my macho idols are GONE!

That shocks me about as much as Richard Simmons leaving the closet would shock me.
Or Barack Obama being a switch hitter.

You at first thought it said “Ricky Ricardo: I am a fortunate homosexual man” ????
I just can’t resist.
“*Honey, I’m homo!!!!*”
Let me be the first to say it, in probably the cheesiest and most ill-advised reply I’ve ever posted on FR.

I know! Rock was such a stud in the Martian Chronicles. I can’t believe all the ladies were so wrong...!

Why the heck is he writing his memoirs? What is he, like 42? Maybe his next announcement is that he’s got an incurable disease, thus prompting his memoirs.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
"... homosexual man"
How does he know this? Maybe he is confused about his real "gender" and is "transgendered." /sarc

A Stanford scientist has discovered that bears shit in the woods.
If a bear shits in the woods and nobody smells it, is he still gay?
