UPDATE:



And now a friend just pointed me to this early '90s Spanish cover by Ricky Martin! Does this mean he technically came out in 1993?

NKOTB’s Jonathan Knight and Longtime Boyfriend Get Engaged

It appears Harley Rodriguez has the right stuff for Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block -- the singer, 47, revealed he and his longtime partner are planning to tie the knot. “We were in Africa, our parents were there — our moms were there — and I just figured this was the time to pop the question and make it official,” Knight shared of the big moment, adding that they've “always considered [themselves] a married couple,” but that Rodriguez, 43, had “no clue” a proposal was coming. Congrats, guys! Here's hoping you'll be loving each other forever ...
