Ricky Martin: Coming out was intense

Just a year ago, the singer announced he is a 'fortunate homosexual man'. On Saturday, he was awarded the Vito Russo Award for openly gay entertainers at the GLAAD Media Awards.

According to People, he told reporters: 'I've been through an intense spiritual process for the last five years, especially the last two years. I needed to share it with the world. My Twitter account went from 500,000 to 1.8 million [followers]! I'm walking today with my head up high, and to be here? To be receiving an award? I've only started.'

He also revealed he is planning to take twin sons Matteo and Valentino, two, on tour with him.

'They're ready,' he said. 'Grandma is coming with us. It's going to be a very interesting tour.'

And he said that just like their daddy, they know how to bust a move. 'They were dancing since they were born. You know what, it's in the blood. There's always music in the house so I guess that's part of it.'
