Ricky Martin on Marriage Equality

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

After shaking his his bon bon on “Glee,” Ricky Martin is dancing around matters a touch more serious — like his thoughts on gay marriage and whether he’ll take that next step in his own relationship.

“It’s about civil rights. I’m not telling you what to believe. I wish people understood that love manifests in different ways,” Martin told Details about the equality question facing the country.

“Allow me to have my life and I won’t mess with yours,” he added.
That life includes twin boys and a four-year relationship with boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez Abella, and Martin is in no rush to tie the knot — legal or not.

Ricky Martin May Marry Carlos Gonzalez in Spain

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.
