Music-News reports that singer Ricky Martin is feeling stronger than ever after finally admitting he is gay.
The 38-year old star officially confirmed his homosexuality this week in a touching message on his website.
He then went on Twitter and sent a message in English and Spanish thanking all his fans for their incredible support. He wrote, "Whats going on gang?I’m doing great! Stronger than ever! I’m here relaxing @ home enjoying ur messages! I feel the love! Thanx for all! peace(sic)"
Martin says it was the birth of his twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, from a surrogate in 2008 that made him realize he had to tell the truth.
He shared, "To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change."
Martin courageously went on to say, "These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed. I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."
After Martin revealed he was gay, The Gay, Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation sent a message offering its support.
