In a candid blog posted on his Web site, singer Ricky Martin comes out, revealing that he is gay.
Ricky spoke about his fears, writing: "Many people told me: 'Ricky it's not important,’ 'it's not worth it,’ 'all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse,’ 'many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature.' Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling
prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions."
The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer continues, "These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed."
