April Fools’ hoaxers send Ricky Martin back in the closet

London, Apr 3 (ANI): While Ricky Martin finally came out in the open about his homosexuality, he found himself back in the closet when April Fools’ hoaxers released a statement on his behalf claiming that he is, in fact, straight.

The ‘Livin Da Vida Loca’ hitmaker acknowledged his homosexuality on Monday in a post on his website.

“These years in silence and reflection made me stronger, and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

However, the 38-year-old Puerto Rican superstar’s emotional revelation was undercut when gay website www.queerty.com released a statement under his name and claimed that he is not gay.

“While I am very supportive of the homosexual community… I am not a homosexual myself… I cannot comment further while there is a police investigation taking place but I did not authorise any statement to be released on my website on my behalf. I apologise for any confusion this may have caused my fans,” the website said in the statement.

Later, the website admitted the statement was a ruse claiming they were “quite amused by how many folks believed it”. (ANI)
