You would be wrong. I'm sure it would have been convenient for me to carry my son around by his neck or appendages - didn't do that either. Somehow he reached adulthood unscathed.

No cynicism about it. Martin is as irrelevant to me as Chambliss. Just observing the double standard. Aspersions were cast on another public figure, based on the same sort of imagery.

One of my favorite gay men is Nate Berkus. He's a cutie!!! Anderson Cooper comes in a close second. I don't know if they desire to be fathers or not.

I hope he has a female around somewhere to help him raise those boys. As a parent, I don't care what anyone says, gay or straight parents need to have the opposite sex involved in their children's lives even if its thru Big Brother/Big Sister. As a female my sons learn male things from their father and female things from me.

I totally agree. It takes a man and woman to create a baby. I think it takes male and female role models in the children's lives to raise them.

Children definitely need both genders as role models.

Do you have any kind of clue just how many single mothers are raising kids with no father around?

Look how he's holding them! The Latino Michael Jackson

Babies fall...it's a fact of life. Rather they fall from 3' up like RM has them held as opposed to several floors up like MJ had his held.

I like Ricky, I've seen him in interviews and he seems pretty level headed. Plus he got some fine moves :)

The babies are adorable. I'm sure he's sleep deprived tho!

"i don't know if ricky martin is gay" used by many posters here! LOL!!! can you say, "denial"???

i personally DON'T CARE if he's gay, but guess what???? HE IS!!!!!! so get over it!

i remember when i was in high school i didn't know whether george michael was gay, either---watch the video to wake me up before you go-go....orange & white color-blocked hot-pants?? puh-lease!!!!

my dad ruined my hopes of ever being mrs. george michael when he called him, "that [non-PC gay-guy word] in little shorts!!" i was in denial at first but c'mon!!! doesn't matter i still love his talent and music just as much now as ever!!!

But dear, then your "gaydar" is really off, because George Michael has always been unmistakenly gay.

Ricky Martin is different, though; like many Latin men who dance, he may come across as efeminate (ergo "gay") for an Anglo-Saxon audience; however, for the wider - and particularly latin - public, the jury is still out.

I didn't know George was gay until he was busted in the bath house. I almost fainted. Just like I was SOOO disappointed to find out gorgeous Rock Hudson was gay too. George really looks feminine these days, unlike how he looked during WHAM. Also, on Oprah he sniffed the entire show like he has a cocaine habit.

Ricky is quiet about his private life, as he should be. If I were a gay celeb I'd be like Richard Chamberlain, where no one publicly knew about my private life and still acted as a leading hetero man. He succeeded and didn't write about his personal life until he was in his 70s!!!

Some gays feel its their right to "out" someone. I totally disgree. Once labeled with that what kinds of roles can they play. Can anyone see Ellen Degeneres playing Patrick Dempsey's wife? NOT!

The jury should be told that he is another beautiful gay man who brings plenty of joy into the world. I know for a fact about this.

He may be gay, he may be not (my gay friends and myself always thougth of him as a gay pinnup - like many soccer players - but not gay himself), although people never automatically think that a woman, if she decides to "go solo", is not straight.

Regardless of the speculation, they make a lovely family and I wish Rick Martin all the best - he certainly made my nightlife all the more enjoyable for a good many years!

Please. He's private and that's all that matters.

Um - is this the same site where folks were implying/i­nferring/a­ccusing/co­ndemning that Chambliss guy of pedophilia due to inappropriate hand placement? Nothing remotely questionable about this photo?

I'm sure there were tons of tawdry implications in your baby photos. Weirdo.

There would have been if either of my parental units had been using my unit for a hand-hold. Just sayin' - many here read a lot into the Chambliss footage, and think this is just ultra sweetie stuff. Double standard.

There's nothing questionable about this picture. Sometimes, you have to hang on to babies anywhere you can get a good grip. I hold my daughter like this. Not in a million years am I interested in what she's packing in her diaper. (unless she's stinky, and I know it's time for a change...) Your comment is incredibly cynical. You can't be a parent and make a comment like that...
