The Ricky Martin Thread

[Sawyer]

Yeah... After his fame has already died down anyway.

I guess he figures that at this point, he doesnt really have anything to lose.

 

[Marx]

Had he come out during the height of his career, it could very well have killed his career. Sadly.

Well, his career was built on songs like "Living La Viva Loca", so him being perceived as a heterosexual was pretty important. But I'm glad he finally have the peace of mind to tell the world the truth about himself, although it is hardly surprising. I'm hoping Kevin Spacey will be next.

 

[Sawyer]

Kevin Spacey? I had no idea...

 

[Schlosser85]

^ There were pics taken of Spacey in a "passionate embrace" or something with a guy in a park which were published by a tabloid. He sued on the grounds the pics were an invasion of privacy but didn't dispute their authenticity. He also refused to answer the question with Barbara Walters because he said "my sexual orientation is completely irrelevant". So yea, Kevin Spacey is probably gay.

As for Ricky Martin....I don't think this shocks anyone's socks off.

I saw it on Yahoo news and was kind of just like "well, yea".

His career kind of died anyway. But as far as him coming out, I missed that part where the surprise came in.

 

[Marx]

It isn't a surprise. At all.

 

[Excel]

Isnt he a father? He clearly has some sort of attraction to women as well...

 

[BestGirl]

It isn't a surprise. At all.

It will be to some of his fangirls. I went on imdb around the time his kids were born and they were absolutely adamant he was straight.

 

[Kelly]

If you are gay, and you want children, you either adopt, or go through a surrogate which he did. That has absolutely nothing to do with having an attraction to women, it means you want a child.

 

[Sawyer]

And he used artificial ensemination to have the twins, so that pretty much destroys the attraction to women arguement.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Unlike someone flamboyant as Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert where you can tell from miles away their gay I didn't feel that way about Ricky. I always thought he was pretty reserved and just wanted his privacy since I think he would show up with women at events.

He sure fooled me.

ok, two things:

1) duh.

2) attention ****e. in 2004, no one cared about the guy--the tsunami happens, he goes over there and does A LOT of needless press conferences, with a lot of cameras, mics and all that. I guessed he felt alright for a while (thank god for the tsunami, he sang). A couple of years later he did the same thing. And now, again.. what's he going to do in 2 years, I wonder

 

[kane9321]

he has peace of mind now..good for him

 

[Schlosser85]

He used a surrogate mother artificially inseminated with his sperm.

You do realize there are lots of gay couples that have children either through adoption or artificially inseminated surrogate mothers, right?

 

[dark_b]

hooow i hate twitter and ecelebrities who think that we give a f.... about it.


'' i am gay and good morning''

so what if you are. who the f.... cares.

i am against gay couples having kids.

call me stupid or even crazy but i think a kid deserves(and should have the right) a mother and a father. both have an important function in a kids life. even you are a boy a mother is very important in the first 10 years.

 

[Holiday]

So it is safe to assume you're against single parents raising kids?

Like Holiday said, how about single parents or even divorcees who raised their children alone? It is unrealistic to expect that every children must have the benefit of having both father & mother while growing up.

Hmmmm....you do realize that hundreds of thousands of kids (just in the United States) are being raised predominately or totaly by only one parent of either gender? Whether through divorce, death, not being married in the first place, having an uncaring mate, prison, having their kids taken from them by the state, or even giving up their kids voluntarily to a grandparent to raise.....hundreds of thousands of kids are not being raised by the standard male/female parenting duo. Shall all of these children be taken from thier provider and given to a male/female parenting team?

Well said C.

 

[dark_b]

well divorces,death,prison,... are not planed right?

 

[dark_b]

if the husbad,wife dies then this is not their choice.

but it IMO would be better if more couples would get kids.

 

[Mace Dolex]

I notice that the American media doesn't really go and scrutinize Ricky about his coming out, it's pretty much become the norm here for celebrities to come out of the closet that most of don't care who's gay or not.

But the Spanish media can be downright brutal since their still thinking in the dark ages that they'll spend hours of TV talking trash about celebrities, just look at any news show on Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura where they all make it a big media circus.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

im so glad to FINALLY have an ATTRACTIVE, AND YOUNG gay celebrity out there. who is an actual celebrity... lol

its like they dont exist.
