Ricky Martin, Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken...

By Charlotte Robinson, March 31, 2010
A funny thing happened to Ricky Martin while he was writing his
memoirs. He decided to finally come OUT as
a proud gay man.
"When someone like Ricky Martin comes
out, hundreds of millions
of people now have a cultural
connection with an artist, a celebrity
& perhaps most
importantly, a father who happens to be gay,"
said Jarrett Barrios, President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance

Against Defamation (GLAAD). "His decision to model this
kind of
openness & honesty can lead to greater acceptance for
countless gay
people in U.S., in Latin America & worldwide."

Martin follows other fierce Pop Divos Clay Aiken, Lance Bass,

Adam Lambert & Elton John whose careers & personal lives
have
been enhanced by their decision to be openly gay.

In this exclusive audio byte we asked Aiken if he was happy
the
way his story played out in the media, Clay stated, “I don’t
think anyone has any control over their own story. Would

I change anything in the last five years? No.”


Adam Lambert will perform at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media
Awards in Los Angeles on April 17, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency
Century Plaza. For Info & Tix: glaad.org
