Latin Pride: From Ricky Martin to Javiera Mena, 15 Latin LGBTQ Artists Who Have Defined the Movement
On Protest 29, 2010, Ricky Martin came out as same-sex attracted on a post on his website. “I am very proud to tell that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” he wrote.
As one of the first mainstream Latin tune stars to come out, it was a watershed moment for Latin Celebration. With Martin’s announcement, male lover artists, who had prolonged kept their sexual identities a secret, finally had a beacon of expect. If Martin could appear out with his career unscathed, there was long for for other artists in Latin music to initiate doing the same. They shouldn’t have to compromise their personal lives for the sake of their professional livelihoods, especially when they were expressing themselves openly in their art.
Since that point, a growing number of Latin artists have either come out after years in the spotlight, or many own simply started their careers by embracing their homosexual identities. The latter has been the case for Mexican singer-songwriter Georgel and Mexican-American reggaetonero Solomon Ray.

It's All About Joel
As it turns out, Joel Stein is a dork.
Of course, an innate dorkiness is part of the shtick of his Time magazine column. But if you read the columns closely, there’s a strong suggestion that while the “Joel Stein” who stars in the weekly column is a dork, the Joel Stein who writes it—the one who, at age 30, has become one of the best-known names in the nation’s oldest, richest and top-selling newsmagazine—is not. “Joel Stein,” as portrayed in the columns, is desperate, awkward, porn-loving and obnoxious; Joel Stein, however, is worldly, knowledgeable, chummy with celebrities and in possession of an enormous expense account.
And, I suppose, the conceit is true. Stein the author is worldly and knowledgeable and all that.
But he’s also a dork.
When I called Stein, ’93, MA ’94, and said that Stanford wanted to profile him, he made every effort to play the big shot. First we tried to make a lunch design. “Would the Friars Club be good?” he asked solicitously. Um, yes, that would be fine. When we couldn’t find a good day, we decided to have breakfast instead. “Let’s go to the Rainbow Room,” he said. “I’m a member.” Of course. And
Orgullo latino: 25 artistas Homosexual con los que estamos obsesionados
El Mes del Orgullo ha comenzado oficialmente y, para celebrarlo, Billboard compiló una lista de artistas latinos LGBTQ con los que estamos actualmente obsesionados. Pero antes, echemos un vistazo a algunos de los artistas que mantuvieron en secreto su identidad sexual durante mucho tiempo y se convirtieron en un nuevo faro de esperanza para una nueva generación.
Notablemente, el superastro puertorriqueño Ricky Martin se convirtió en una de las primeras estrellas latinas del mainstream en salir del clóset en 2010. “Estoy muy orgulloso de decir que soy un hombre homosexual afortunado”, expresó en una carta abierta que publicó en su sitio web.
Un par de años antes, el integrante de RBD Christian Chávez usó el website del grupo para expresar que “no me sentía preparado para hablar por el miedo al rechazo, a la crítica, pero sobre todo por mi familia y sus consecuencias”, pero que “ha llegado la hora de crecer, no sólo como ser humano sino como artista”. En la extensa carta, le pidió a sus fans que no lo juzgaran por ser honesto y que se sientan orgullosos de lo que son.
Además del acto de valentía
