The
49-year-old Martin and his husband cover the latest issue of CAP 74024 magazine.
The cover
photo is a shirtless image of the men in an embrace.
In a lengthy
post, Martin, who came out gay in 2010 after dodging rumors about his sexuality
for years, said that the negative reaction he received transported him back to
the closet.
“Today I want
to speak to you from my most vulnerable side…,” Martin wrote.
“A week ago, I
uploaded some photos with my husband for a special edition of @capogether4024
magazine. For both of us it was a wonderful experience and a way to celebrate
our pride.”
“What I didn’t
expect, especially after all the work that has been done for so many years, is
that a large number of people decided to unfollow or comment derogatory.”
“Of course,
it’s not the number of followers I’m concerned about, it’s the message behind
your decision that has caused me the same feeling I had years ago before
sharing publicly about my sexual orientation. That same fear that paralyzed me,
tormented me and wouldn’t let me be.”
“Today I see
the pictures and what that I feel is a full peace of being able to celebrate my
family as they deserve, all the high. To celebrate me as I am no matter what
they will say.”
“And that fear
I just spoke of, no longer paralyzes me, on the contrary, gives me much more
strength and pushes me to continue to work for the well-being of millions of
people suffering every day because of the lack of acceptance.”
“The most I
wish in this life is that we can all feel free, proud of ourselves, happy, that
we are loved, respected and accepted. May we express ourselves how we are born
without retaliation or being punished.
“It’s not fair
to continue losing valuable lives due to prejudice and lack of education.”
“To all those
who feel lost or not valued for being who they are and want to be, are not
alone, there is a great community waiting for you with open arms. They are
worth a lot, don’t forget it please. #pride #pridemonth,” Martin said.
Martin is
currently promoting his latest single “Que Rico Fuera.”

ReplyDeleteVery well said. Martin has become a wonderful spokesperson for the Gay Community. So thoughtful and personal. Glad he is his true self. He should be proud of all he has and continues to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteThis mysterious man likes to send gifts, and so he will with Sonny by sending him a huge stimulator. Will Sonny manage to deflower his ass with that huge object?
