LOS ANGELES (GaeaTimes.com)- Ricky Martin is gay! The blatant truth has been declared by the pop singer himself, who has come out with his sexual orientation in public after a long time. The Puerto Rican singer, Ricky Martin, who is one of the most popular pop singers in Latin America and United States, has reportedly declared in his official blog that he is “a fortunate gay man”. His publicist John Reilly has reportedly confirmed the news to be authentic.

Ricky Martin’s sexual orientation was a matter of speculation for a long period now. Back in the year 2000, when the singer was at the peak of his singing career, Ricky Martin faced the question during an interview with Barbara Walter. While Barbara Walter coaxed the star to stop the rumors by coming out clear about his sexual orientation, Ricky Martin had maintained silence. In his blog post on Monday, he has said that he had thought over the matter intensely and has mastered the courage to declare it in public. The reflection over the matter has taught him that it is important to accept the fact from within and that this has provided him with the strength to cope with the myriad of new emotions of whose existence he was unaware.

Barbara Walter recently during an interview repeatedly confessed to the media that her coaxing of Ricky Martin to come out clear about his sexual orientation was a wrong question. However, his late answer is being welcomed by many who feel that this will provide enough strength to many gay people around the world to come out with their choice.
