This is annoying to me. He waits until his career has faded, when he is set for life with the partner and kids, and has nothing to lose, and can live on an island somewhere if he wants, to come out. And, it's part of a book deal!
What a trailblazer. Waits till the last possible minute when it might still mean something to somebody. Glad he got his.
Well it's no more acceptable in Puerto Rico than it ever was, gays still get beaten to death all the time. But Ricky probably has a security detail that rivals Obama's, plus he lives in Miami half the time.
Two words for Ricky: Rudy Galindo. Male figure skater who came out at an early age, not only to being gay, but to being HIV-positive. Was still competing and had his whole career to lose, but he too k the risk and still had a good pro career anyway, plus a whole new boatload of fans.
I can see why really old guys like Richard Chamberlain and "the second Darren" waited to come out: they came from a different time, it just wasn't heard of back then. But Ricky is younger than me. It's great that he finally did it, but I get to grumble for a few seconds before giving him a welcome hug and stealing some shorts from his hamper.
