On the same day that Puerto Rico announced it would no longer
defend its ban on gay marriage, Ricky Martin, one of the island's most famous
exports, released a music video featuring a married gay couple.
On Friday, Martin applauded the government's decision.
“Today is a great day for my island, my heart beats fast in my
chest. How proud I am to live in a country of equality. I love you Puerto
Rico,” he wrote in Spanish.
Disparo al Corazon (Shot to the
Heart) from Martin's recently released Spanish language album A Quien
Quiera Escuchar (To Those Who Want to Listen) is a ballad about about
finding love at an unlikely moment. In its music video, Martin, dressed in
black, stands before a mirror and confesses that before finding his love he was
not a saint. Reflected back in the mirror are various couples, including two
recently married men.
“It is a very emotional video where I present different realities
manifested as love,” Martin is quoted as saying.
Oh Ricky! He's so fine! : ) Beautiful song and such good news coming from PR. Thanks for the positive energy and vibes. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers, AOM
