Cardinal Luis Aponte Martinez of San Juan and Wanda Rolon, a Puerto Rican megachurch pastor have come out with harsh words for Ricky Martin due to his now openly admitted homosexuality.

Wanda Rolon's comments were particularly scathing. She described him as someone "who wants to take people to hell". She compared gay men to drug addicts and alcoholics.

While Ricky Martin responded during a concert that he desired his homeland to be without prejudice, I'm sure that Puerto Rico's gay and lesbian community is none too pleased with the comments. However, it does accurately reflect the feelings of many Puerto Ricans (as it does elsehwere in many parts of the world).

What do you think? Were the comments called for or inappropriate?
