Ricky Martin is Gay

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8594121.stm

I really have no idea who that is!!!!

Who is Ricky Martin?

Never heard of him..............assuming it is a him.

I've heard of him and to be honest I don't care.

I bet the BBC do though.

Enrique Martin Morales (born December 24, 1971),[1] better known by his stage name Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican pop singer who achieved prominence, first as a member of the Latin boy band Menudo, then as a solo artist after 1991.

I don't care either.

He's just living la vida loca.

Translation 'a crazy life'

I was genuninely shocked when I heard the news. Apparantly, he has two kids that he fathered so I hope it won't have too much of an effect on them.

I remember first hearing Living La Vida Loca when I was at primary school in 1999 - a great song.

I didn't realise he'd died!

You were shocked PoK, you must not get out much at Uni becasue when I first saw Ricky Martin I though that guy is a bit fruity.

Thank heavens George Michael & Boy george ars straight.

Sometimes typos are priceless

Could have fooled me.

He was one of the last people I'd ever expected to announce anything like that.

Have you seen how he dances for a white man, that says it all.

He also has a pet bird a cockatoo

Whats white got to do with it, all the 'wiggling' is now to foot placement more than anything else.

My ex (Spanish) reckons that the only one in the Spanish world who didn't know he was a poof was him.

me and Mutters like to do drunk singing and pissed dad's dancing - does that count?

Only if you "shake you bomm, bomm, shake you bomm bomm"

POK confirming he is a wind up.

Have you met anyone who is gay because Ricky Martin had all the "qualities" you would expect.

I fail to see the connection between dancing and being a pillow biter.

Lets look at the Village People; can I safely assume that anyone who has anything to do with construction, police, firemen, red indians, or motorbikes all play the pink oboe?

If POK is shocked about Ricky Martin, wait till Robbie Williams comes out.

LOL dont be daft!

What are those "qualities" then, Compo?

Having loads of fit girl mate, but never going out with any of them. Having good dress sence, oh and liking cocks

But he managed to father two children. How did he manage that if at least he didn't like girls?

Did you really just write that, have you no idea how he managed to have kids

JEEZZZZZZZZZZZ

All we know is that he's got two children. We don't how he had them.

What is this, Dragon's Den?

Ok that maybe fair enough about Barrymore and the surrogate mother, but maybe Martin didn't want to answer then because he felt it wasn't anybody's business at the time.

If that was the case then, I admit it seems strange for him to have done that and now want to tell everybody about it.

I don't know, maybe he had sexual intercourse with a woman, at least twice??

Crazy I know.

Edit; I've just read the article, I thought Mr POK was asking how a Gay man could possibly have kids, which wouldn't be beyond his naivety to be fair!!

Me & Mutts are dancing our way down York Rd when the Gloids go down, if thats OK by the board elders mind you

Basically, he jizzed in a cup and got the turkey baster out for the surrogate mother. Are you so thick to understand the reason he didnt come out, it would have hurt his career in america where they hate the gays.

He has come out now, funnily enough, as he is writing his autobiography and his music career has ended, therefore his book sales will go up and will now have the gay community banging his drum (so to speak) being a gay icon.

Not everybody in America hates gay people. This is the country that's just elected their first black president. People have changed.

It's only in the Bible belt Southern states really where people still vote Republican and are afraid of change that homosexuality is frowned upon.

As for becoming a gay icon, he was never a gay icon when he was at the height of his fame, so I doubt just because he's announced he's gay, that he'll become a gay icon.

Ricky Martin wasn't a Gay icon!!?!?

Because, right hard bastards love his music. Proper hairy biker types, and heavy metal fans.

Not at all Women and Gays.

Livin' La Vida Loca was number 1 in the UK. Surely that meant that it had a wide appeal to people.

I bet Mr I's danced to the song on the odd occasion in one of his salsa classes - it doesn't mean to say he's gay if he enjoyed it.

which world do you live in, Ricky Martin not a gay icon. You will be telling us next "I am what I am" isnt the gay anthem.

Back on Uncle Barrack again Pok, I know about the USA i have been there a lot, however saying that you are gay when your growing you career in america (esp in music) will harm your sales, because of the Republican and south people wont buy your records.

Ricky Martin wasn't considered at the height of his career to be a gay icon.

As for President Obama, he's a legend, he always was and he always will be.

POK Gloria Gaynors 'I will Survive' was a US and UK number one.

Due to it's wide appeal I'd imagine?

Yeah, it's a great song, we shouldn't discount it just because of its age etc.

It is the gayest song I could possibly think of, off the top of my head.

What about Tony Christie? He sung, he's single and he's as straight as a die as far as I can tell.

There have been other seemingly "cheesy" songs that have come after it.

you sir are an idiot what he was saying is you dont have to be around and come out to be a gay icon (hence his use of gloria gaynor)

also why do you love Barrack Obama, you say he is a legend but what has he done for 1) this country 2) you personally and 3) the world
