This is a little bit of late, unrelated news from Puerto Rico, but as you may already know Ricky Martin came out March 29. However I would like to reiterate the fact that there is much more to a man or a woman than his or her sexuality, and in my opinion it is small to define a person solely as such.

So here are some things you may not know about Ricky Martin:

He rose to fame in a Latin American boy band, Menudo. It was formed in the 1970’s and was very popular in Latin and Hispanic cultures. Menudo is still making records to this day.

He is a double threat – singe/actor. He acted in the telenovela, Alcanzar una estrella as well as appearances on General Hospital.

Ricky Martin is also the proud father of twin baby boys, Matteo and Valentino. He has slightly stepped out of the spotlight to focus more on his family and baby boys.

This is not meant to be a complete biography but rather offer that fact that people have many different aspects to themselves other than their sexual orientation.
