Garcia theorizes their manager might have thought Martin was gay and kept him from his impressionable bandmates, or Martin may have had a private room as a perk since he was the eldest Menudo. Martin had his own private room apart from the others. He says he wasn't surprised when Ricky Martin came out, though he never saw Martin with a man or woman and assumed he was asexual (and no, they never fucked-he was 10 when Martin was 18, y'all). I'm more than that, a son, brother a musician.' But I believe he is confirming his identity publicly for the first time on the heels of appearing nude in a gay magazine.
In the piece, he says he's never been closeted: 'I'm very honest about who I am, but I don't like labels.people need to understand that someone's sexuality doesn't make the person. The semi-scoop comes from the June 8th print edition of TV Notas, a Spanish language tabloid sold in Latin America and the United States. It's Angelo Garcia, a boybandmate of Ricky's, who has since buffed up a little bit and, most recently, posed naked for erotic gay site Paragon Men (subscription required for what I assume are nude shots and video). Word comes today via Boy Culture that one of the original Menudo boyband members was gay.
