 Squirm
Barbara Walters asked Ricky Martin if he's gay on her Oscar night special. Ricky's talented mouth nearly stopped working as he tried to respond:
Well, some, when they, when they have some -- sometimes, some, some people from the media, when they have nothing to say, they invent things. I'm not concerned about my reaction. I'm concerned about my people's reactions. Like my nieces, they go to school and they start reading things. My mom goes to the beauty parlor and sexuality and homosexuality should not be a problem for anybody. I think that sexuality is something that each individual should deal with in their own way. And that's all I have to say about that. ... Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to express, the rumors. But, Barbara, for some reason, I just don't feel like it [saying what my sexual orientation is]. You know, it's, it's something so mine. I give it all when I'm on stage. I give it all in interviews, but you've got to keep something for yourself sometimes, and that's for me.
Barbara tried to coax it out of him, saying: "You know, you could stop these rumors. You could say, as many artists have, 'Yes, I am gay,' or you could say, 'No, I'm not.' I don't want to put you on the spot."
This approach got Babs nowhere so she concluded, "Of course ... if gay people think you're gay and straight people think you're straight, hey, it means a bigger audience."
"Exactly," replied Ricky.
Over the years we've watched other closeted celebrities squirm until they were ready to say, "Yup, I'm gay." Their squirming looked a lot like Ricky's.
