Singer Ricky Martin shared the stage with President Obama at a fundraiser in New York City on Monday afternoon. 200 donors paid at least $5,000 each to attend the gathering, which was cohosted by the LGBT Leadership Council and the Futuro Fund. In his remarks, Martin said, “We admire his courage, like the courage he showed last week in affirming his belief in marriage equality. That is the kind of courage we expect from our president and that is why we support him.” Martin had announced plans to host the fundraiser long before Obama voiced his support for gay marriage last week.
