Coming out is a personal decision without respect for what others think about the decision or the timing. Whether perceived or real, coming out carries a risk of loss of family, loss of friends, loss of a job, and more. Perhaps the man just wants to be Ricky Martin, not the latest gay icon. Leave him alone, just as many others managed to come out without a media circus.

Welcome to the Family Ricky! Don’t listen to idiots like Bob K. We all find our way to light on our own time.

Every person goes through the coming out process in their own way and their own time. I am glad that Ricky Martin has now gone through that process. Maybe his coming out will make it easier for other Latino boys and men to do the same.

The more well-known and respected people come out the better life will be for all of us. I wish that some of our Gay and Lesbian political leaders would follow Ricky Martin and come out.

Ricky Martin never disparaged the gay community so his taking this long to say what so many people already knew is OK. He had to do this when he was ready.

I’m glad he decided to come out on his own as opposed to doing it after being outed. Also, he isn’t washed up and still has a career, all be it most likely on the decline. His coming out helps America and the world see that we are everywhere and not at all unlike the majority straight population.

It takes “time” for some people to come out. I am proud of Ricky and I’m an even bigger fan of his now that I know without a doubt that he is gay =)

[...] am The Ricky! Today, Ricky Martin shocked no one by coming out. Let me say that coming out is never easy, even ten years after you were a massively popular [...]

Hooray for Ricky! Angelo Gracias, another former Menudos member is also gay.

How can he say, “I am proud to say” after he’s been too embarrassed to “say” for all these years? Perhaps his career is so deep in the toilet that now he needs a new fan base. Too bad he doesn’t realize that this new fan base is his OLD fan base which he denied himself being a member of for so many years.
