Ricky Martin to Spanish Conservatives: Don’t Mess With Marriage Equality

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Spanish Conservaties and Marriage EqualitySinger Ricky Martin has warned Spanish conservatives against repealing the nation’s gay marriage law. Martin, who was granted Spanish citizenship four months ago, made his comments in a cover story for the April issue of the Spanish edition of Vanity Fair.

The story features photos of Martin posing for the first time with his twin sons, Matteo and Valentino, and boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez.

The recent election of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his conservative Popular Party (PP) threatens the nation’s gay marriage law, which was approved in 2005 by the Socialist government of Jose Louis Rodriguez Zapatero. The PP filled a legal challenge to the law based on technical grounds. Spain’s Constitutional Court is expected to issue a ruling any day now.

“Allow me to have my life and I won’t mess with yours,” he added.

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Ricky Martin to Marry PartnerSinger Ricky Martin wants to marry his boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez and the couple is considering marrying in Spain.

During an appearance Monday on Spain’s El Progama de Ana Rosa, journalist Miguel Angel Nicolas said the couple was considering marrying in Spain. He added that the Spanish model Esther Canadas, a friend of the Living’ la Vida Loca singer, has offered to help Martin become a Spanish citizen. Spain legalized gay marriage in 2005.

Martin cannot marry in Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States, because it is not legal. While five states and the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage, federal law does not recognize such unions.

Ricky Martin: I Won’t Marry Until It’s Legal in Puerto Rico

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

Ricky MartinGay singer Ricky Martin is adamant he will one day marry his boyfriend, but not until they are legally allowed to wed in his native Puerto Rico. The Latino star announced he is gay earlier this year after years of speculation about his sexuality.

Martin has also revealed he is in a serious relationship and he is keen to exchange vows with his lover – but it is currently against the law to have a same-sex wedding in his homeland.

The “Livin’ La Vida Loca” hitmaker has considered making his union official in Spain or Argentina, where gay marriages are legal, but he is determined to wait until he can marry in Puerto Rico.

Anti-Gay Marriage Actor Eduardo Verastegui Linked to Ricky Martin in Tabloids

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

A Spanish-language tabloid claims that Martin used to secretly date Eduardo Verastegui, a Latin model and actor. Verastegui is no stranger to gay rumors. But he was also the face of California’s “Yes on 8″ campaign against gay marriage.

The tabloid TV y Novelasclaims the two were a couple when they were both in the closet. Like Martin, Verastegui also started out in a boy band, but he went on to star in Spanish-language TV shows and lots of shirtless photoshoots.

According to this report he went right-wing around 2006 and made an anti-abortion message movie and even palled around with John McCain. It culminated in this commercial supporting California’s Proposition 8, which eventually passed and robbed gay folks in the state of legally tying the knot.
