Ricky Martin Comes Out Of The Closet, Admits “I’m Gay”
Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin has finally come out of the closet to admit he is, in fact, gay, after years of denial. The 38 year-old claims the birth of his twin sons, Matteo and Valentino, in August of 2008, is what encouraged his heartfelt confession today.
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” Ricky wrote today in an intimate and personal letter on his Web site. “I am very blessed to be who I am. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with.”
“What will happen from now on? It doesn’t matter,” Ricky affirms at the end of his letter. “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.”
It was finally time for Ricky to stop playing games and just be himself. The people who really love him will continue to do so and those who don’t were not worthy. Barbara Walters recently confessed that she believes the questions she made about Ricky’s sexuality in an interview back in 2000 might have destroyed his career.

Ricky, I am so proud of you. You made a hugh step for all those who are on the verge of coming out and being who they are. I was married for 27 years and loved her and still do but there was a part of me that was tired of running. By the time I ran out of energy, I had wrecked so many lives. I could not understand all the reactions, but all at once I was a stranger to everyone that loved me. My life as well as theirs changed in 2005. Today I thank God for my life as such it is. There are alot fewer people in my life today than there were prior to 2005,. I thank God for all my blessings each day. The biggest blessing of all is that my ex- has moved on and remarried and is healthy. I,myself have moved on with my life but not so fortunate. I am a single man learning to live with AIDS. I wish I had the courage to write a memoir ME, but I would just continue to hurt THEM. Ricky, bless you for your courage and be true to that special loved one in your life.
