Ricky Martin wants a legal gay wedding

London: Pop star Ricky Martin, who publicly admitted that he is a homosexual earlier this year, wishes to legally marry his boyfriend in Puerto Rico.

The Un Dos Tres hitmaker wants gay marriages to be legalised in his native land and is ready to wait until then to tie the knot, reported Contactmusic.

"I would get married... There are many countries around the world where same-sex marriage is a right. Not in Puerto Rico, unfortunately. And not in many states in America.

"Yes, we could go to Spain and get married. We can go to Argentina and get married. But why do we have to go somewhere else? Why can't I do it in my country where the laws are - you know, protecting me?

"I can go to Spain. I have many friends in Spain. And get married. And make it very beautiful and symbolic. But... I (can't) do it in the backyard of my house. I want to have that option. I don't want to be a second class citizen anymore. I pay my taxes. Why can't I have that right?" said Martin.

so I am correcting you. Homosexuality runs in any society with statistics where available raging from 2 to 8%. So obviously it is not "the norm" and if it were you wouldn't have these legal and political battles attempting to foster equal rights for homosexuals.

hey man, chill out! everyone has an opinion. Homosexuals probably think straight people are not right as well.

i was told San Francisco is the butthub of the world tho.

Pilgram, in the UK if a celeb comes out of the closet, they are respected more so. Unfortunately, not all countries feel the same...

it was already in my son's entertainment blog three years ago. It was a known fact in the entertainment world a long time ago!

The world is changing. Lots of countries are accepting gay marriage. He simply wants Puerto Rico to as well. Nothing wrong with that. Snessy, he's still quite popular in South America with his Latin songs, and obviously from the comments on this page, coming out of the closet is not necessarily a career booster.

well smoke he ain't famous (anymore)

By smoke• 11 Nov 2010 09:40

Yep its always the rich and famous who think the world should change to suit their needs.

By flor1212• 11 Nov 2010 09:39
flor1212

it's their right! or left? or realllllllllllllllyyyyy?

Seriously, that's their choice so they should be given that right?

By snessy• 11 Nov 2010 09:38
snessy

Fair enough he wants the same rights, but his career has gone downhill and this way he can get free publicity. If Puerto Rico allowed to him to marry legally there, he would probably jet off elsewhere to get married anyway.

Elton is allowed to be gay...he has better songs compared to Chicky martin

"..there's nothing to get so excited about it!"

Have you seen that bronzed torso and six pack ??

By smoke• 11 Nov 2010 09:25
smoke

Yeah someone needs to tell him he's not the first and wont be the LAST Gay man on this planet..there's nothing to get so excited about it!

Oh yeah and while they are at it someone tell him he's been sucking on too much "man juice" if he thinks a country is going to change their laws just so he can tie the knot legally!

He's a drama queen because he wants to have the same rights as everyone else?

What a drama queen! If you want to get married for love, you don't care where it is or who is there. In need of some publicity, me thinks...

By anonymous• 11 Nov 2010 09:12

Good for him. Hope Puerto Rico comes around someday. If they don't, he's more than welcome to get married in Canada.
