Ricky Martin is... Umm... Not Straight...

And there's that hot news in Media where the Pop Star Ricky Martin says he's Gay...

Well, after this news, many fans are not feeling much happy and comfortable, and I'm still unable to find the exact reason of their disapproval...

To me, if there's some singer, and we like to enjoy his music, we should remain concerned with his music only. Personal life of any artist is separate from his Arts or Public Life. An opera singer can still sing in her high notes even if she's been divorced twice. An architect can design fascinating buildings even if he cheats his wife. Michael Jackson kept entertaining the audience with his wonderful performances even when he was accused and humiliated quite a lot of times by press.

We must only be concerned about these personal things of others when:
  • Their Arts, or any kind of work, preach others and ask everyone to follow their personal life. If some singer is gay, it's his personal life. But if he asks everyone to be gay, in his song, then you have got a reason not to like him, if you're not comfortable with this.
  • You have a very direct concern with that person, like if you are the wife of Tiger Woods, and you come to know that he has an affair with another girl. If you are just a Golf fan, then don't worry if he's dating another girl. He's not marrying you anyway...
So, we are only concerned with the Public Life of the Artists and other figures. How they use their personal life is their own life and choice, so it's always better not to peep anyone's bedroom...

"I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't."
– Kurt Cobain

  1. well it’s not that I dislike him for being gay or anything but some of us still think that it’s not normal and are disturbed by it( disturb might not be the correct word but..).
    If they have made their personal issue public then public has every right to comment on it :).Just as his being gay or straight or tiger woods cheating on his wife does not concern us similarly they are not affected by our opinions either.....

  2. But see, as I mentioned, even if he's not gay, he's not marrying you anyways, as mentioned at the end of second bullet point...

    He only informed public that he's not straight. He's not asking others to be like that. All his fans has a right to choose their own sexual orientations...
