Puerto Rico: Prejudice Between the Lines

Félix Jiménez denounces in a short note in the digital magazine 80grados the prejudice that is revealed between the lines in the sports sections of the country's main newspapers when covering Orlando Cruz, the Puerto Rican boxer that recently came out as openly gay. Jiménez says:

To review articles supposedly supporting Cruz is to find just how weak that alleged solidarity really is, the poorly convincing “acceptance” of Cruz […] and the resistance to write about Cruz the same way other boxers are written about.
