Jose Manuel Colon & Orlando Cruz
Who said male boxers can’t get married to men? Unfortunately, due to the culture in the sport and the backlash that they would receive, not many do find love in same-gender relationships. But Orlando Cruz couldn’t care less on what people would think. Cruz is the first professional boxer to be open and out about being gay while still working as a boxer.
Since he came out, he won his first fight on October 2012. In 2013, he was one of the first inductees to the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame. Cruz went on to marry Jose Manuel Colon in Central Park.
