What A Surprise – Ricky Martin Is Gay!

I’m sure that is surprising news to absolutely no one.
Ricky announced via Twitter that he is gay and can no longer hide it. He is now a father of two boys and doesn’t want to live a secret life. Good for him.
Not that we all didn’t know that like a decade ago, but good for him.
He has started to write his memoirs that will be published (of course). Writing it all out made him realize he needed to shed the secrecy and embrace a life he should have celebrated.
I can’t help but to think that this is rather timely of an announcement if he is going to release a book — everyone will want to buy it to get all the details — you know he’ll be on Oprah. I wouldn’t be surprised if a CD followed.
I don’t want to cheapen someone’s self-realization and label it as a marketing ploy….but since I’d venture to say that is what Ricky (and his PR) is doing, then I’m gonna go ahead and cheapen it. No better way to get your name in a headline in the US after several years off the map as announcing you’re a boy who kisses boys.
