Yeah, I was riding to school and they said: "Ricky Martin makes a big announcement." And I knew he'd come out. I mean, honestly, who didn't know already?

Wow, I honestly thought he came out way back in like 1999 or something. :lol:

Yeah, a lot of people had suspected it and frequently joked about it. But understand that is difficult for Latin American men (Latino/Hispanic, whatever term) or men of color in general, who are LGBT, to come out. It has much to do with cultural and god-awful, unrealistic expectations from Latinos of what makes a man a man. Don't care if that's a generalization 'cuz it's pretty true coming from a culture that glorifies machoism.

:roll:

He'll only come out online. And by way of something he wrote in a foreign language. And, to boot, on a fansite.

He must either be really busy (can't imagine why) or as afraid of scrutiny from the Latino community as you suggest Aqua.
