Ricky Martin se bat pour se marier
 À PORTO RICO
12-11-2010
Ricky Martin pense épouser un jour son compagnon, mais pas tant que les mariages homosexuels ne seront pas autorisés dans son pays natal, Porto Rico.
Le chanteur a révélé son homosexualité il y a quelques mois, et a aussi révélé qu'il vivait une relation très sérieuse. C'est pour ça qu'il aimerait épouser son compagnon, mais pour l'instant, c'est contraire à la loi dans son pays natal.
Il pensait se marier en Espagne ou en Argentine, où les mariages homosexuels sont légaux, mais il tient à se marier à Porto Rico, et il est prêt à attendre le temps qu'il faudra.
Il a confié au journaliste américain Larry King «Je veux me marier... Il y a beaucoup de pays dans le monde où le mariage du même sexe est autorisé, mais malheureusement pas à Porto Rico. Et pas dans beaucoup d'états d'Amérique. Oui j'aurais pû me rendre en Espagne et me marier. Nous aurions pû aller en Argentine pour nous marier. Mais pourquoi devrions-nous aller ailleurs ? Pourquoi ne puis-je pas me marier dans mon pays ? Je peux aller en Espagne. J'ai beaucoup d'amis en Espagne. Et me marier. Et faire les choses très belles et symboliques. Mais... je ne peux pas le faire dans le jardin de ma maison. Je veux avoir cette option. Je ne veux plus être un citoyen de seconde classe. Je paye mes impôts, pourquoi ne puis-je pas me marier ?»

Rickey Martin
From Wikipedia
Early life
Martin was born on December 24, 1971, in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, to his mother, Nereida Morales, who was an accountant; his father Enrique Martín Negroni, was a psychologist. He is the only child of this union. His parents divorced when he was two. Both remarried. He has two older half brothers on his mother's side (Fernando and Angel) from a previous marriage and three younger half siblings from his father (Eric, Vanessa and Daniel). Though no one in his family was connected to show business, Martin was drawn to the spotlight as a child and had many friends.
Menudo
At the age of 12, Martin auditioned for the band Menudo, a Latin pop group composed of young Puerto Rican adolescent musicians who were rotated out of the group as they advanced into their teen years. He was turned down. At age 13, he auditioned a third time and became a member. When Martin was 17, he left the group and returned to Puerto Rico to complete high school.
Solo career
After completing high school, Martin left San Juan and moved to New York. Later, Martin moved to Mexico City where he started acting, first in theater productions, and then in a soap opera ("telenovela") titled Alcanzar Una Estrella II (Reach for a Star). A film based on the series was produced in which Martin played "Pablo," earning a Heraldo Award in 1993.
While acting in Mexico, Martin was signed to Sony Discos, the company's Latin imprint, in 1990. He released his first solo album, the Spanish-language Ricky Martin, in 1991, which included the single "Fuego Contra Fuego." The hit release earned gold records in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rico, and the United States, and he performed a string of sold-out concert dates across South America.

In 1993, Martin released his second solo album, Me Amaras, which sold more than a million copies worldwide.
In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles, California. He received a role as bartender (Miguel Morez) in the American soap opera General Hospital.
In 1995, Martin refocused on his music career through his third album, A Medio Vivir. With this album, Martin made a shift from formulaic hit ballads to a more risky fusion of music centered around traditional Latin sounds. With the hit "Maria", which epitomizes this new sound, and the ballad "Te Extraño,te olvido te amo", Martin began his expansion from Latin American and Spanish-speaking audiences to the European and Asian markets.
Personal life
Martin has been nominated one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by People magazine and its sister magazine People en Espanol in 2000 and 2006 respectively. Martin is the founder of Fundacion Ricky Martin, a non-profit organization. Among the events promoted by the foundation was a summer camp, which included Martin's personal participation.
In the past Ricky stated he was in love with Mexican TV host Rebecca de Alba, with whom he had an off and on again relationship for over 14 years. They even talked of starting a family together. And at one point Ricky Martin planned on proposing. However with the release of "Life", Martin confirmed he and De Alba had parted ways.
During the Livin' la Vida Loca era, Martin's personal life went under the microscope due to his large gay following and he was constantly questioned about his sexual orientation. Neither avoiding the questions nor answering that he is straight, seemed to stop the gay rumors. In the magazine Plus 7 Days he said: "I am a modern man, live a full life, do not feel any barriers inside myself," Ricky says. "I perceive the contemporary world as an open forum, where nothing is taboo except criminal activity. If I were gay, why not admit it? ... I am a normal man. I love women and sex. I am a real hot-blooded Puerto Rican, but I have never been attracted by sex with a man."
In The Sunday Express on the gay rumors Martin said: "What are you going to do? I don't have a problem with homosexuality. I'm gay-friendly – I'm not gay." (Found at: RMTEE - Press Center, Archived Articles,Press articles 1999 (archive before 07-2001)
On August 20, 2008, Ricky announced, via his publicist, that he is now the father of twin boys. The babies were delivered via gestational surrogacy and were already a few weeks old. At the time of the press release, the children were already under Ricky's full-time care. On December 10, 2008, Martin told People magazine that the boys are named Valentino and Matteo. Martin's rep released a statement after the twins' birth, saying, "Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."
Social work
In September 2002, Martin received a Hispanic Heritage Award for his humanitarian work through the Sabera Foundation in rescuing three orphan girls from the streets of Calcutta.
Ricky Martin has also collaborated with the International Organization for Migration on the "Llama y Vive" (Call and Live), a campaign which is aimed to facilitate prevention of human trafficking, protection of the youngest victims of child trafficking, and prosecution of the traffickers. For his work against human trafficking, the U.S. State Department named Martin one of its "Heroes in Ending Modern-Day Slavery" in 2005
