Ricky Martin Comes Out As Heterosexual - PSYCHE
yellowfoliage:
Not only is there a Gay Homosexual Committe, they denied my application again. Guess I'll have to be straight for another year. Damn red tape.
David_Dovey:
You guys may know it as the "Homosexual Agenda". They're the guys who want to kill yr grandparents so they can be used as fuel to burn piles of Bibles, the fumes of which will be used to lull children into a comatose state from which it will be easier to brainwash them with lies about evolution and climate change.
Darkbluerabbit:
My guess is that English isn't Friend's first language. But that's not really important. My only problem is the phrase "becomes a gay" because it doesn't work that way, but it's hard to tell with new people whether it's sarcasm so I won't bother with it too much.
I'm generally glad when someone in the media decides to come out. Ricky opted to do it on his own website rather than on a UsWeekly or whatever, which shows some class too. Every person who comes out of the closet increases the visibility of LGBT people, which almost always helps decrease homophobia. The more people are publicly gay, the harder it is for bigots to insist that the LGBT rights movement is some lunatic fringe "gay mafia." The people who say things like what Dovey posted (and oh, they are out there) might be too far gone, but there is hope for the folks who are more moderate.
I'm not really a fan of his, I couldn't name a song that isn't Living La Vida Loca. However, my grandma thought he was the bee's knees back in the day, and so did a whole lot of people. If Ricky's coming out helps change even a few of those people's minds in favor of LGBT rights, even a little bit, then that is a step in the right direction.
Johnny C:
Maybe a funnier thread title would have been something like "Who Gives A Shit About Ricky Martin In 2010"
BeoPuppy:
I'm amazed that there was actually ever any doubt about mr. Martin's gay-ness.
