Is Ricky Martin Catholic?

Of the major religious denominations, it's actually white evangelical Protestants who have the biggest problem with homosexuality, not Catholics.

I really could care less whether you like to sleep with men, women, do heroin, listen to hip hop, and worship satan. I just wish people wouldn't wear it on there sleeve and try to put in everyone's face, thats when it becomes a problem. This whole gay thing is waaay overblown and is getting old. People on both sides need to respect each other for their differences and let it be.

Waiting for some one to come out and declare they are Heterosexual.

Is this thread about Ricky Martin or is it about homosexuality? If it's about Ricky Martin (and other gay celebrities) why isn't this in the Entertainment/Celebrity Forum? If it's about homosexuality and the religious right, why isn't it in the Religion Forum?

Wait, why do conservatives need to go on the defense about gay marriage? Did Bob & Joe's marriage in Maryland cause the collapse of their own marriage? Strange.
sorry ....... you cant have it both ways, no pun intended, if you dont want your sexual preferences to be an issue shut up !

Did he literally mean "blessed by a divine entity?" He probably just feels liberated now that he's out of the closet, I don't know.

That being said, I swear to god I thought he actually had already come out! XD

I haven't seen anything posted that would make this a "controversial" issue. Seems like people either thought that everyone already knew it, they didn't care and thought he was hot anyway or they just plain didn't care. Did I miss it?
