Ricky Martin On His Sexuality
Ricky Martin has been in the spotlight since childhood. Before coming out in 2010, he battled anxiety issues. About figuring out his sexuality, dating women and then coming out as gay, he told People Magazine, “A lot of people have said, ‘Rick, you were trying to prove yourself, because of fame and being a sex symbol.’ Well yeah, it could be. I don’t know. Everyone knows you don’t have to be a gay man to know that love is complicated. Or to know how confusing attraction can be. Am I gay? Am I bisexual? Am I confused? What am I?’ Sexuality is one complicated thing.”
He added, “It’s not black and white. It’s filled with colors. When I was dating women, I was in love with women. It felt right, it felt beautiful. You can’t fake chemistry – the chemistry was there with them. I wasn’t misleading anyone.”
