Ricky Martin's recent confession about his sexuality and the release of his autobiography have ignited a new "Rickymania" in 2010. From Oprah to the Today Show, Ricky has inspired million of fans with his frankness and openness, and now the star is at the top of Out Magazine's 100 Most Compelling People of 2010, gracing the magazine's cover.

In this special issue - the magazine's 200th - the 38 year-old singer is at the center of the confetti-filled cover, joined by other gay celebrities or those who have supported the community, such as Julianne Moore, who is cheekily riding a white horse.

The publication opens the in-depth article and interview with Ricky with the following passages: "On March 29th of this year, Ricky Martin made a decision that would change everything. He posted a letter on his website and linked to it from Twitter. The letter outlined the process of writing his upcoming memoir, during which Martin came to realize that he needed to free himself of a particular burden. Writing about it, he added, was "a solid step toward my inner peace and vital part of my evolution." He closed the letter, with a beautiful, eloquent, and simple declaration: "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."
