London, April 20 (Inditop.com) Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore has praised singer Ricky Martin for his courage to come out as gay.

“My lofty goal in this world is that we can live in a world that doesn’t judge each other, I just want people to be able to live their lives that are true to them. I celebrate what Ricky is doing because, we have to create a world for each other where acceptance is first and foremost,” said Barrymore, who was present at the the 21st annual Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards.
