He's not the typical gay guy you can bully, cause... Yesterday Orlando Cruz and Orlando Salido fought for the World Boxing Organization Featherweight title, with the victory of the second guy, the current champion.

Orlando Cruz (1981) is the first contemporary boxing fighter to be openly gay. He came out bravely and proudly more or less one year ago, when his career was taking flight.
He dedicated some past victory to LGBT cause.
Even if I'm not into sport, this time I was hoping in his victory, cause could have a very huge mediatic impact and cause I'm a 'supporter/fan' of this guy, in that world I consider him like a hero.

Quote:LAS VEGAS -- Orlando Salido downplayed the fact that Orlando Cruz is boxing's first openly gay fighter during the buildup to their featherweight title fight. Salido said he didn't care. He just wanted to get his hands on a second 126-pound world title.
