In an interview with “Attitude” magazine, Ricky Martin goes into detail as to why he his sexuality to the public for years. He says, “The level of injustice that we as a community were dealing with back then was heavy. I had relationships with other men who were in the closet and I had other relationships with men who were not in the closet but, because of me, went back into the closet.” Ricky Martin came out as gay back in 2010.
