Ricky Martin in The Advocate: "Open" to same-sex relationship

[DitaPage*]

Thanks for the apology, but I wasn't losing sleep hahaha.

I heard him say in an interview once 'It makes no difference to my music, what my sexuality is'. I thought that was a decent answer.

I noticed in his She Bangs video that he has girls all over him. Wouldn't a straight guy be going absolutely nuts? Ricky didn't seem too turned on. That's why I've always thought he was gay.

Oh yes I'm quite sure he's very "open" or is it "been opened up"?

I really don't think he ever will mainly because his audience is majorly hispanic/latino. That public will never accept his homosexuality, it's just not like it is here. Given that context, it's kind of shocking that he even gave The Advocate an interview and then said he's "open" to same sex relationships. I mean, abuelitas in every latin-american country must be clutching their pearls with shock at that.

Ricky is latino. Latino men are very close-minded regarding homosexuality. The latino women I know seem to be more open-minded about it, but will not openly be accepting of it, due to how the those around them feel about it.

Thanks to you both for explaining that to me. I had no idea.

I don't care if he's gay or straight ... I remember when he first became famous as a solo artist, and he was freaking incredible (I think it was a Grammy performance IIRC). Very, very sexy.
