Ricky Martin and homosexuality

Do you remember when Ricky Martin was famous for "Livin' La Vida Loca?"  You also heard how he has announced his homosexuality recently?  Well, when he announced his homosexuality publicly, it was because it was safe for him and his career to do so.  When he sang Livin' La Vida Loca, he was announcing his homosexuality then.
 
Go to http://www.spanishdict.com/translate and look up the words La Vida Loca.  La is feminine (female) for 'the.'  Vida is feminine for 'life.'  Loca is feminine for 'queen,' an informal reference to being homosexual.  So 'Livin' La Vida Loca' literally means, "Living the homosexual life."  If you listen to the song again, translate the symbolism with a homosexual context.
