One less competitor.

Now I will buy your new album, which is surely being released very soon.

Ricky and I would just like some private time now. And it's a memoir, not an album.

CaptainFantastic

A manoir, perhaps?

Oh, it's both, fellas. It's both.

Make it a memnoir and I might actually read it.

Um... how fortunate?

But, wait, where's the "Yes, I'm Gay" People Mag cover story?

It's going to be a Barbara Walters special, instead. IN which she forces him to apologize for lying to her many years ago

I remember giggling at people old enough not to have seen the Wham thing coming. Remember that?

Also, nobody click through to the atrocious letter itself. Martin buries his lead like it's a hooker he dismembered with a hacksaw.

CaptainFantastic

I was too young to not see the Wham thing coming.

What's the opposite of a fortunate homosexual man? Is it an unfortunate heterosexual woman? If that's the case, I'll need to steer clear of Ricky so the universe doesn't collapse in on itself.

Fredrick

I mean...is he fortune BECAUSE he is a homosexual man?? Or just a fortunate man? Like, is he letting his fans know that even though he's gay he's still better than them?

HiredGoons

I assumed he was letting us know he is hung.

I think it's more likely that you would just cancel each other's existence out. In which case, I'll chip in for your plane ticket.

HG: or his boyfriend is.

Oh wow, I thought this was common knowledge.

It was.

Ricky was rehearsing for a performance and the Latina housekeeping ladies in my office ditched work to sneak into the theater to watch him. This is when he starting his solo career. When they came back and we asked them how was it. They were all disappointed and just said he was gay.

kitten_witawip

Btw, this was the performance

and all they came away with from it was that "he's gay".

I was in Puerto Rico when he was topping the charts in the US. The girls we worked with were insane for him. Confronted with the obvious one replied, "Of course we know. But he's Puerto Rican, and he's gorgeous and we love him."

wantonheretic

can you just find those beach pictures again and link to them because i totally have very fond memories of them.

Charismatic Megafauna

Oh no, not those pictures. Ever since some dumb commenter noted his fat knees, I have never again had a good day.

The millions of people to whom this is surprising news - really, they're out there - need to get their own planet, they shouldn't be allowed to habitate this one.

HeyThatsMyBike

They can move in with the people who were genuinely surprised by Clay Aiken's comparable admission.

God, I was JUST SAYING what a good couple he and Clay would make. And then, some day, when they can fuse individual elements of DNA to make a joint sperm, Celine Dion can donate an egg and we can have faith in the future?

That is one of the best graphics I have ever seen on the Awl. The hand drawn stars really make it for me.

I've been loving that thing like Ricky Martin loves his boyfriend.

Vulpes

Well Ole ole oleeeeeee for him! Seriously, I'm glad he feels he can finally do this, and applaud him for doing something that I know is difficult, but I ain't throwing no parade for him. He lied and obfuscated for years when his coming out would have meant something. Just like Sean Hayes, he only comes out now when it is more a help than a hindrance to his career.

HiredGoons
HiredGoons (#603)

This is true, but to each his own. It's a difficult process.

Sean Hayes: "I feel like I've contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America. "What more do you want me to do? Do you want me to stand on a float? And then what? It's never enough."
Concusion: Sean Hayes is a twat.

Vulpes
Vulpes (#946)

Goons: Totally. I'm just not going to give him any more respect than I would a "nobody" coming out; probably less, actually, since the nobody probably had a lot more to lose.

Phlox: OMG, YES!

When I first moved to NYC I heard that Rickie had an Asian boyfriend. I wonder what happened to him?

Pandemic Endemic
Pandemic Endemic (#3,825)

Maybe the Asian boyfriend was just Sean Hayes.

Should we call him Dickey Martin now? Just another musician lying to the public world long enough to take their money. Living a lie da loca? No more children for you hey Dickey, it don't work that way round.
