Ricky Martin accepts the Vito Russo award
during the GLAAD Media Awards in
Times Square.

"I've been through an intense spiritual process for the last five years, especially the last two years," the "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer, Ricky Martin, said after being presented the Vito Russo Award during the annual ceremony at New York last March 20.


The Vito Russo Award is presented annually at the GLAAD Media Awards. It is named in memory of Vito Russo, a founding member of GLAAD and author of The Celluloid Closet. The award is presented at the GLAAD New York annual event to an openly lesbian or gay member of the entertainment or media community for outstanding contributions toward eliminating homophobia.


Openness, compassion, peace and harmony are what we need right now. We say NO to inequality and hypocrisy.
