Desmond Child: Once Ricky Martin came out and had kids “he opened that door a floodgate of energy and creativity”
You often hear closeted or semi-closeted gay people say: “It’s nobody’s business” and “It makes no difference if I’m out or not.”
Of course it’s every individual’s right to come out or not come out but if they are any kind of an artist, coming out will most certainly make all the difference in whatever they are putting out into the world – and in a good way.
Take Ricky Martin. The singer just exudes happiness and confidence these days and my bet is it has so much to do with publicly uttering those words: “I am gay.”
Producer Desmond Child is working with the singer on his new record and tells Blackbook.com: “I’m really excited about the music, the content, because since he’s come out it’s unleashed his creativity and the scope of what he can sing about and say and do. He’s a formidable person – an activist, a philanthropist, a humanitarian. All of the work he’s put into his charity—it’s all going into the music. His personal life too, and how much his life has been changed by his children. Once he opened that door a floodgate of energy and creativity just really exploded.”
