Popular Gay Latin Singer-ricky Martin Opens Up On How He Was A Bully To Gays. by HezronLorraine(m): 4:49pm On Aug 27, 2013


Singer Ricky Martin memorably came out as a gay
man back in 2010.
However, the star has admitted he used to struggle
with his sexuality and even bullied gay men whilst
growing up in Puerto Rico.
'I look back now and realise I would bully people who
I knew were gay,' Martin tells the September/October
edition of GQ Australia. 'I had internalised
homophobia. To realise that was confronting to me. I
wanted to get away from that.'


Ricky and Family
Martin, who got his start with the boy band Menudo nearly three decades ago, tells the magazine that becoming a father to twin boys Matteo and Valentino, whom he is raising with partner Carlos Gonzalez Abells, changed his view on life.'I didn’t want them (his twin sons) growing up in a house of lies… or thinking that there was something wrong with being gay.'
The 41-year-old also opens up about his latest job, as a judge on Australia's version of The Voice.'I felt the outpouring of love, and I could feel the criticism, too, but I loved that,' he tells the publication.'I love the honesty and the truth.People tell it like it is in Australia.'
In fact, the sexy performer proved so popular on the
competition reality show that it has led to a career
resurgence for him.
He will embark on a tour in October, giving a whole
new generation of fans the chance to experience La
Vida Loca.
After years of speculation, the singer came pout as a
gay man back in 2010, via a long statement on his
website.
'I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual
man,' he wrote. 'I am very blessed to be who I am.'
And later that year he expressed no regrets with his
decision during an interview with Larry King.
'Today, I am a gay man,' he said. 'And everything
about saying this feels right… if I’d know how good it
was going to feel, I would have done it ten years ago.'
