His hand is clearly on his own lap and not touching anyone else….and its an odd picture period. Doesn’t look like Ricky got the best lighting, Cheyenne was not ready and mid-pre-smile whatever, and Kelly is just not in the mood apparently.

In one of his first public appearances since he came out, Ricky Martin attended the amfAR Inspiration Gala in New York City and received the Award of Inspiration Thursday evening. Host Kylie Minogue presented him with the honor in recognition of his global philanthropic efforts. The inaugural awards also were attended by Cyndi Lauper, Cheyenne Jackson, and honoree Jean Paul Gaultier.
In his brief acceptance speech, Martin stuck to the business of doing good. He dedicated his award to a young Cambodian girl infected with HIV that he met two years ago in his work against human trafficking.
“Today, I speak on her behalf,” he said. “This award is for her. This award, I’m going to take to Cambodia again. I’m going to give it to her.”
Martin’s contributions, as introduced by Minogue, include work on social justice, education, and health care issues such as pediatric AIDS. He has served as a global ambassador for UNICEF.
Throughout the evening, Martin could be seen graciously receiving guests at his seat in the hall at the New York Public Library. Also seated at the table was 30 Rock and Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson and his partner, Monte Lapka.

Everytime I see Kelly Rowland, I’m reminded of that unscripted fagg*t line she delivered in Freddy Vs. Jason. I’m surprised that since that movie came out (2003?), she has never been held accountable. I don’t know why she’s such a “gay icon” ? She can eat shit as far as I’m concerned!

Kelly Rowland obviously said to herself “Ok, in a room full of gay men, What can I wear so that I can get noticed?” :)
