“I pay my taxes, why can’t I have that right?” asks Ricky Martin about his inability to get married, as he continues the media tour to promote he book Me. Not that he and the boyfriend are ready to walk down the aisle just yet or anything, so a People payday isn’t coming anytime soon, but he’d at least like to have the option!
Martin, who plans to take his twins on tour (because that’s what he wants them to feel is “normal” … OK), says he’s going to raise his kids in the mold of a “modern family,” where the definition of parents isn’t necessarily a mother and father, but a super-rich mega-famous pop star who can do whatever the F he wants.

Ricky has studios in his houses so he can work at home and be with kids.
Good parents want to spend as much time with their kids as possible.

I don’t get Queerty’s venom toward Ricky Martin.
GlacierGuy
Here we go again……Queerty needs to start EDITING their work or at least use spell-check! Seriously!
I admire Ricky for keeping his family a priority. I think there is an important lesson to learn from that. There is nothing wrong with having your kids tag along. He has the money and resources to ensure their comfort and safety. I bet dollars to donuts that he’ll do just fine on tour and his kids will have the time of their lives. I applaud him!!!

Damn he is fine.

“Martin, who plans to take his twins on tour”
What’s wrong with that?

This is a homophobic bigot’s Worst Nightmare come true. A talented, cool, intelligent, attractive, masculine male coming out on national TV as proudly and happily homosexual, without guilt and without shame. This is the kind of stuff that could actually reduce homophobia in America. Gracias Ricky.

@Mike: I was thinking the same thing.

Geez, again Ricky Martin? Come on, you keep saying the same thing over and over, just to sell your book. How much money are you making off of it, and how much are you donating to children’s and gay’s causes? Why isn’t he addressing the rumors that Mexican hunk-turned-gay-hater is the real father of the kids?

I don’t really know what queerty has against Ricky. He seems very sincere and genuinely a good person. Also, it’s impossible not to melt when you see that smile.
