phantasmas 10,598 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 De La Hoya, who won a gold medal in the 1992 Olympic Games, was a grand marshal for the 40th Vegas Pride Parade along with his partner, Holly Sonders. The signature event, which draws more than 10,000 people annually, celebrates the Sin City’s burgeoning queer community (more than 20% of residents identify as LGBTQ+). "I am a member of two communities–Latinos and boxers–who have a checkered past in our treatment of the LGBTQ+ community,” he said. “Whether it’s due to the machismo inherent in both groups or some other reason, it is high time to accept all communities." “As a leader in a community, our job is to educate people to accept all people, regardless of these factors. If I can convince one fight fan to accept a member of the LGBTQ+ community, that is a start."
