Antigay Puerto Rican pastor Wanda Rolon urged people to avoid Ricky Martin concerts, warning that the singer would "drag us all to hell."
The Huffington Postreports on the protests that occurred last week, which judging by the attendance at Martin's concerts, appear to have been ineffective. Rolon promoted her opposition on Facebook and in a press conference.
"On Friday the 25th of March, a group of anti-homosexuality activists held a protest in front of the Choliseo, while avid Ricky Martin's fanatics arrived for the anticipated concert," reports HuffPo. "Wanda Rolon's followers promised to be there for the remaining three days, condemning Ricky Martin's confessed sexual orientation and the nature of his concert. According to Wanda Rolon and this group, the whole island will join Satan in the afterlife, since four shows were completely sold out."
Martin did not respond directly to Rolon, but during his concerts he said, "Don't be afraid to live, Puerto Rico."
