Singer and actor Ricky Martin publicly came out as gay in 2010 in a statement on his website. Later that year he released a memoir, Me, in which he discussed his struggles with his identity. Rumors about his sexuality had circulated for years. In 2000, for example, news anchor Barbara Walters had asked him in an interview to “stop these rumors” and suggested, “You could say…‘Yes, I am gay, or…no, I’m not.’ ” She later acknowledged that her remarks were “inappropriate.”
