He still won’t fuck you, but it’s nice to have a gay pop star ambassador other than Clay Aiken. Ricky Martin announced that he’s gay on his blog today in an entry that he also linked to on his twitter account. Here’s an excerpt from the English version he posted. It seems that the people closest to hRicky advised him to remain closeted. Cock-blockers, all of them.
Many people told me: "Ricky it’s not important", "it’s not worth it", "all the years you’ve worked and everything you’ve built will collapse", "many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature". Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions…
These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed…I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.
Delightful. Only thing now is to get started on the requisite slutty post-closet cock binge. I’d also advise you to say "gay" instead of "homosexual".

Oh, and another thing, I love, love that you read Ricky Martin’s blog…because nothing screams homosexual, sorry, gay like that.
Why is he a douche bag? It’s not like he was singing homophobic songs, or staking out political positions antithetical to the gay community. He was under enormous pressure – being a musician and being Latino (from uber-homophobic Puerto Rico, no less) – I’m sure he faced pressures that you and I couldn’t possibly understand.
What a douche bag, it’s kinda say it took him so long
