I have to say that I am very proud and happy that Ricky Martin has come out. Due to his celebrity, spirit and fame, his openness will help others be a bit more accepted. But beyond that let's be honest. The fact that he's handsome and doesn't act effeminate is definitely a positive afterthought. We've had other people come out Elton John, George Michael , Lance Bass. Elton though talented is not very good looking by standard beauty polls. No matter how great he plays the piano , we wll always be examining his new hairline every year. George Michael was branded a pervert. One who stalked bathrooms. Though nothing was proven the stigma is still attached. Lance Bass there is a slight difference. He's cute. Ex Boy bander. His only crime was being a teen idol who hid his sexuality from his female fans whilst dealing with females on the road.
But now we have Ricly. Ricky just finally got tired of hiding. His love for his children and not being a hypocrite led to his admittance. Plus he finally felt comfortable in his own shoes.
The one theme that always ran true with Mr. Martin though was the fact that he NEVER denied it. He went around the topic. Ducked it. Or changed the subject. But he NEVER LIED. Unlike Clay Aikens. Something like this lends to one's crediblilty and honor.Coming out is a personal and sometimes painful decision. But it's just that: PERSONAL. Now it is not my job on this earth to try and change nor alter anyone's opinions. All I can do is offer how I feel then move on.
I'm one of those that feels that things are slowly getting better. But still there are those who will bully and be mean because they either just refuse to be tolerant or understand, or they themselves are gay and are genuinely upset that some gay people can just be happy, productive and just beautiful being who they are.
Back to the point! Ricky will have an impact. He's handsome. He's talented. He's a humanitarian. He has 2 beautiful sweet children. And besides just being a private person and not opening up his life to the world. He has no scandels.
I can't deny it. Ricky is hot!! And believe me we hate to think of vanity as a factor, but it is. I know personally that if someone in my opinion is cute or handsome, then they will get that extra 10 minutes. Where as some one not as attractive may not. But don't get me wrong. There are exceptions to every rule. And personality and charm can always transform the some what physically challenged to a status of unquestionable beauty.
Ricky. I thank and applaud you. And kiss those 2 beautiful boys for me. I wish you and your family a long and prosperous life.
