WATCH: Ricky Martin's New Music Video Promotes Equality

January 11, 2011

In his first music video since coming out about his homosexuality, Ricky Martin sends out a message of equality.

His video for his single "The Best Thing About Me is You" shows a number happy people from all walks of life celebrating their differences. Throughout the video, Ricky has an equal symbol painted on his chest.

The singer came out about his sexuality on his website early last year and told Oprah Winfrey in November that he "couldn't take it anymore." He said once he posted the blog, he "cried like a baby" but also felt relieved. The father of twins told Oprah of the confession, "Was I going to teach [my kids] how to lie?"

Ricky's memoir titled Me is in bookstores now and his new album is set to drop Feb. 1.
