Jose Manuel Colon & Orlando Cruz
Who says male boxers can’t marry men? While cultural norms in the sport often discourage same-gender relationships, Orlando Cruz defies expectations. He is the first professional boxer to openly identify as gay while still actively competing.
After coming out, Cruz won his first fight in October 2012. In 2013, he was inducted into the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame. Cruz later married Jose Manuel Colon in Central Park, proving that love knows no boundaries.
