Ricky Martin is among a number of artists and thousands of citizens calling for the resignation of Puerto Rico governor Ricardo Rossell\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Rossell\u00f3 finds himself in a massive political crisis in part because a trove of homophobic and misogynist communications that were recently made public. Martin was criticized in some of the more than 800 leaked communications which also included derisive comments about hurricane victims.<\/p>\n

Many artists at Thursday night\u2019s Premios Juventud<\/em> on Univision made the quote of the night \u201cRicky renuncia\u201d or \u201dRicky resign.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the show, musicians took the opportunity to reach fans with impassioned messages for political change and equality well beyond Puerto Rico’s current crisis.<\/p>\n

The show included several LGBTQ artists including singer Joy Huerta of Jesse & Joy. The brother-sister duo were honored as \u201cagents of change\u201d for their work on behalf of animal rights and environmental causes. Huerta announced several months ago that she was married to a woman<\/a> with whom she was expecting a baby. Huerta had the message “close the camps” on her arm in a photo from the awards.\"\"<\/p>\n
