SEAN HAYES, YOU'VE GOT COMPETITION: In what likely gets ranked as the second-least-surprising Yep, I'm Gay of 2010, once-biggest-singer-in-the-world Ricky Martin wants y'all to know that he is "proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am." Poignantly, he writes:
If someone asked me today, "Ricky, what are you afraid of?" I would answer "the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war...child slavery, terrorism... the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith." But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change.
