The Ricky Martin Thread

[Wolfwood]

Honestly, I never thought he was gay.

I always figured there was a possibility, but didn't really matter...

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

So.....no abuse of children is done by male/female couples.....yeah, right.

Children need a LOVING CARING RESPONSIBLE parent......whether they be unwed, gay, blind, deaf, disabled, etc, etc, etc.........

My feelings too.....there are plenty of celebs that I think could be gay....but that's just a passing thought, nothing I spend any time thinking about. I care about how a person treats me, my family, my friends, and the people around them more than what color, age, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, etc that they are.

Here's my problem with his sudden "coming out";
First off, I have no problem with anybody being who they are or being true to what they are. I do, however, have a problem with someone using that aspect of themselves to grab a quick headline. What's with all these celebs coming out after they're careers go south? It feels like they're desperate for attention. I would respect Ricky more had he done this while "La Vida Loca" was on the charts. But he couldn't, because that would have upset his female fans, right? Ridiculous. The man hasn't sold a record in over a decade. Why come out now? What's the point? To offset some tabloid story that would probably get buried on page 3 & go pretty much unnoticed? What could possibly be so fascinating about the sex life of someone who has done absolutely nothing important, significant, noteworthy, interesting, entertaining or even slightly amusing since Clinton was in office?

^Well yeah but maybe he truely just wasn't comfortable doing it back then. I feel like it's not for me to judge these celebs reasoning for coming out but I respect them for doing so and being comfortable enough with themselves to say it out loud. That being said, I really don't care...

I dont think it's a big deal. OBVIOUSLY he wants some attention. It's really not that suprising.

 

[Chris Wallace]

It's just annoying. This is why celebs have such a hard time maintaining privacy. And gays are so quick to say they don't want that trait to be what defines them in the public eye, but they make it their defining trait when they announce it after having been out of the spotlight for years.

 

[jaymes_e06]

^True.

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?

No, but once they choose a same-sex partner, I'd suggest buh-bye!
