Ricky Martin says he is gay

The Livin’ La Vida Loca singer posted on his official website: “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”
Martin, who had always dodged questions about his sexuality, told fans he decided to come out while writing his memoirs.
The birth of his twin sons in August 2008 and writing his memoirs made him decide to come out.
Another contributing factor was the birth of his twins via an anonymous surrogate.
The Puerto Rican star admitted ‘fear and insecurity’ made him keep quiet about his sexuality but told of his ‘happiness’ at finally revealing who he is.
Martin, 38, posted: ‘To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where (sic) born with.
In 2000, TV journalist Barbara Walters grilled him about whether he was gay, but he refused to disclose it.
The singer began his career with boy band Menudo and broke out as a solo artist and teen idol in the 1990s in Spanish-speaking countries. — Mail Online.
