The singer, who says he is happier than ever now that he has come out, was asked on US TV show The View about his thoughts on the spate of suicides among gay teens.
Staring intently into the cameras, he replied: 'If you are out there and you are struggling with your sexuality – I love you.'
Struggling to keep his voice from breaking with emotion, he continued: 'You are very important to me. You are very important to this society. God doesn't make mistakes.
'You are very special. It gets hard some times – but it gets really cool afterwards.”
He added: 'I am a very spiritual man – and my God doesn't make mistakes. I have a really cool connection with that beautiful light up there that is constantly reassuring, 'You know, you are an awesome person.’'
But Martin's emotional message did not stop at least one fan from trying to avoid the truth.
'I'm so glad you came out – but in my fantasies I still picture you holding me,' host Sherri Shepherd told the Latin singer, who then got up to cuddle her and kiss her on the neck.
'I'm pregnant right now!' a flustered Shepherd joked afterwards.
