Non-news of the day.

Ricky Martin is a gay homosexual.

How many years has "everyone" known that already? Ah well, at least he finally admitted it :)

Well, Rosie O'Donnell waited until we all sort of knew anyway. I think, for a lot of celebs "come out" and pretend to be gay, which makes it harder for the ones who are. I think it's easier once we all sort of assume, and then they go "yeah, you're right".

On a side note, shouldn't "known" also be in quotes there? I mean, unless someone tells you, can you really "know"?

(Sorry, I'm just reminded of The Gallery Of "Misused" Quotation Marks (http://www.juvalamu.com/qmarks/).)

I've seen plenty of pictures of Ricky Martin e.g. on the beach with "his personal trainer". Put it this way - I've never seen a heterosexual man be *quite* that close to another for so long, even with his personal trainer ;)

I'm pleased that he finally felt that Latin America was ready for him to be honest. I don't know a huge amount about Latino culture owing to the fact we don't have them here, but I do know they tend to be heavily influenced by the opinions of the Catholic church. I'm pleased by the evidence that increasingly, Catholic priests and nuns are preaching tolerance and love for gay family members, sod what the Vatican thinks. God wants us to love each other - if He thinks it's a sin, that's for the gay person to sort out with God, not the family.
