Ricky Martin's parents embrace son's sexuality

Martin came out of the closet in March this year after fighting his feelings for years, and was prepared for a difficult talk with his parents, but was surprised when his parents revealed they were already aware of his homosexuality.

"My mother asked me if I was in love with a man, I thought, 'Wow, this is gonna be easier than what I thought' and said, 'Yes mum, it's a man'. Then she said, 'Come on, give me a hug, you're my son and I love you, I will always be here for you' and I was extremely surprised," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Martin as saying..

Martin's father also took it rather well and simply said: "You don't have to say a word. I love you and I just want you to be happy."
