Oh, Ricky Martin, you're not fooling anyone. We all know you're gay and too afraid to name the other half of your baby-wanting "we".

He's referring to celebrities who adopt (most particularly Madonna). I think he'll make a good daddy. OH PAPI!

Well, Dawster, maybe he is a top (*laugh*). If what my Mexican ex tells me is true, Latin tops don't consider themselves gay. Any Latin boys care to chime in here?

It's not that they don't consider themselves gay, it's that they try to CONVINCE themselves that they are not gay. One things for sure, from personal experience, a lot of Latin tops love to have they ass played with.

I love that he's using one of my fav Madonna dancers Jason on his tour. He's the hottie on the far right.

Yes, apparently for Latinos you're only REALLY gay (aka a 'maricon') if you put out your ass for a dick, AND act all effeminate. That puts you up for ridicule and all that nasty homophobic stuff.

If you're a top and/or straight acting, then you can fly by… somewhat unharmed. That's when people turn a blind eye and make no mention of it to your face — which has been my case. Still, you know they speak about you behind your back, and in very judgmental ways.

Nonetheless, you are expected to participate in the slandering of effeminate men, and even laugh at homophobic jokes — all in the name of proving that you are still 'a man'. The 'Othering' of effeminate men is really impressive — sometimes leading to the point where it merges with misogyny.

Also, "maricon" is such a common term that it is widely use without second thought. In Chilean dialect, the heritage I sometimes reluctantly claim as mine, it doubles as both 'faggot' and 'bitch'.

That said, it stands that my mom would on occasion say things like "oh,que maricona es!" [what a bitch] when referring to a not-so-nice lady. Or, she can also refer to objects as being maricon/a, as in the case of a knife ["la cuchilla maricona"]. That's how deeply ingrained the word is in our culture, I'm sad to say.

I know it is hard to recognize me in my black wig
and black face, but that is me bending over in front of Rick (that's what I call him).

It is just a little game we play on stage.

I will say this on behalf of thousands of Red State girls and their mothers: Ricky is straight! You're just jealous!

No. 9 · Ricky Martin’s A Repeat Offender / Queerty

[...] Martin performed in Florida last night. As you can see, the ambiguously gay singer's still playing pretend with his back-up dancer. And on the eve of National Coming Out [...]
