Such a comment could do wonders for acceptance of gay people worldwide. Yes I first wondered if Ricky is gay by simply listening to the blatantly hetero lyrics in his latest album, as if they were a poor attempt to cover something up. If he is gay, he has a some very real income concerns to face, given his established fan base. It's too bad that even today, who we shag still affects our incomes. Whatever his sexual preference, I don't think it is the media's business.
Mass media seems out to kill people's careers.
It is hard to tell the taboids from what was once a respected media community. I teach in an all Latino school where the girls are crazy for Ricky Martin, but most boys loudly call him a maricon. A little jealousy on the boys part. The boys say that only a gay man would grind his hips the wasy Ricky does. If Ricky is outed, it will hurt his marketablility.
