beauty in a wicked world.

Whaaaaat? Ricky Martin is G A Y? [I know that this post is somewhat out of character for me, but I couldn't help myself.] If anyone is truly surprised by Ricky Martin's coming out party, that person should have the word "oblivious" stamped on his or her forehead. The only people that are probably shocked, or just saddened, by this are older female fans trying to hold onto their youth. I love how Martin spins it: "I am a fortunate homosexual man." Regardless of my lack of shock by this statement, it is always good to see someone accepting to their own lifestyle. It make take some longer than others, but as long as you come to that point in your life, it is absolutely worth it. This situation reminds me of when George Michael came out. Again, who was really surprised by that one? Look at him, he felt so open with his sexuality that he decided having sex in a public restroom was acceptable. I guess that is one way to express your newly found freedom.

Oh, and hey crazy older women. You might not be able to dream about being Ricky Martin's wife anymore, but you can secretly (or openly) wish to be his fag hag. In my opinion, that is much more honorable title. As Margaret Cho says, "Fag hags are the back bone of the gay community. Without us, you are nothing."
