1 | Puerto Rico: Boxer Orlando Cruz Is Proud to Be Gay | Pôrtô Riko: Mirehareha Amin'ny Maha-Pelaka Azy ny Mpanao Ady Totohondry Orlando Cruz |
2 | Puerto Rican boxer Orlando “The Phenomenon” Cruz (@ElFenomenoCruz) has become the first boxer in history to openly declare his homosexuality while remaining professionally active in the sport. | I Orlando “Ilay fenomenina” Cruz (@ElFenomenoCruz), mpanao ady totohondry Pôrtô rikana, no mpanao ady totohondry voalohany teo amin'ny tantara, nanambara ampahibemaso ny maha-pelaka azy, nefa izy mbola amperin'asa ara-panatanjahatena matihanina. |
3 | In statements made to USA Today, Cruz said: | Hoy ny fanambaran'i Cruz ao amin'ny USA Today: |
4 | I want to try to be the best role model I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and a professional career. | Te-hiezaka ny ho modely tsara indrindra ho an'ny ankizy izay mety hanao ny ady totohondry ho fanatanjahan-tena sy hoavy arak'asa aho. |
5 | I have and will always be a proud Puerto Rican. | Reharehako ny maha- Pôrtôrikana ahy ary tsy hiova izany. |
6 | I have always been and always will be a proud gay man. | Efa pelaka foana aho ary ho reharehako izany. |
7 | The affirmation made by Cruz, who is currently the number four featherweight boxer in the world, was no small matter. | Ity no fanambarana malalaka nataon'i Cruz farany, Cruz izay eo amin'ny laharana fahaefatra manerantany amin'ny sokajin-danja “volomborona” [plume]. |
8 | The boxer, who also competed in the Olympics in Sydney, Australia, is active in a sport whose world has traditionally been perceived and constructed as one in which hypermasculinity and heteronormativity are the norm, denying space to other forms of sexuality. | Mavitrika amin'ny fanatanjahan-tena ity mpanao ady totohondry ity, izay nahavita ny lalao Olaimpika tany Sydney, Aostralia, ary nefa ny tontolo ahitana azy sy ny efa nahitana izany hatramin'izay dia tontolo hanjakan'ny mahalehilahy feno sy manaja ny mahalahy sy ny mahavavy, mitsipaka mihitsy amin'ny fomba hafa mety hidiran'ny endrika hafa amin'ny fironana ara-pananahana ivelan'ireo. |
9 | Boxing and fighting blog En la pelea [es] praises Cruz's decision: | Midera ny fanapahan-kevitr'i Cruz ny bilaogy mpanao ady totohondry sy mpiady En la pelea [es]: |

12 | While this is obviously a story in boxing, it is also a story that hurts the culture of the “macho” and oftentimes “homophobic” combat sports. | Raha misongadina eo amin'ny tantaran'ny fanaovana ady totohondry izy, dia fantatra ihany koa hoe tantara izay manakaiky ny kolontsain'ny “tena lehilahy” ary matetika ny “tsy tia vavivavy”. |
13 | Cruz's declarations did not only require courage but will also serve to make him a better role model as the face of a culture that is not always accepted in these sports. | Tsy hery ihany no notakian'ny fanambaran'i Cruz, fa hiasa ihany koa izany hahatonga azy ho modely tsaratsara kokoa noho izy endrika-na kolotsaina izay tsy dia ankasitrahana loatra eo amin'itony karazana fanatanjahan-tena itony. |
14 | Ociogay [es] emphasizes the fact that Cruz decided to make his sexual orientation public in the middle of his career instead of at the end, as was the case with other athletes: | Notsindrian'i Ociogay [es] ny tranga hoe nanapa-kevitra i Cruz ny hilaza amin'ny olona ny momba ny fironany ara-pananahana, tao anatin'ny asa mahamatihanina azy, raha tokony hoe tany amin'ny farany, toy ny nataon'ireo atleta hafa vao manambara izany: |
15 | The courage that Cruz has had is commendable, since the examples of homosexual announcements that have been given in the high-ranking sport have been close to the end of the athletes' careers. | Tena mendrika hoderaina ny fahasahiana nasehon'i Cruz, raha hita hoe saika any amin'ny faramparan'ny asa maha-matihanina ny atleta foana matetika no ohatra na fanambarana ny fironana ara-pananahana teo amin'ny sehatra ambonin'ny fanatanjahan-tena. |
16 | There are many examples, such as that of rugby player Gareth Thomas and NBA star John Amaechi [es]. | Betsaka ny ohatra azo raisina, toy ilay mpilalao rugby Gareth Thomas sy ny kintan'ny NBA John Amaechi [es]. |
17 | Nevertheless, Orlando Cruz has done it while active, with 31 years of age, and when he is at a very good athletic moment. | Na izany aza, nolazain'i Orlando Cruz izy ity raha mbola am-perin'asa izy, 31 taona izy ary tena ao anatin'ny fotoana maha-tsara azy ho atleta izany. |
18 | Obviously, reactions on Twitter were aplenty and, overall, showed support for Cruz's decision: | Raha atao indray mijery dia toa feno fihetseham-po eo amin'ny Twitter, ary toa samy maneho fanohanana ny fanapahan-kevitr'i Cruz iz rehetra: |
19 | @dnlmolina: Orlando Cruz, the boxer that just threw a “hook” at homosexuality in boxing elconfi.de/9-106757 [es] | @dnlmolina: Orlando Cruz, ilay mpanao ady totohondry nanisy “paingotra” teo amin'ny fampidirana ny maha pelaka eo amin'ny tontolon'ny fanaovana ady totohondry elconfi.de/9-106757 [es] |
20 | @zute1971: Boxer Orlando Cruz tells the world he is gay. | @zute1971: Nilaza tamin'izao tontolo izao ny mpanao ady totohondry Orlando Cruz fa pelaka izy. |
21 | I am not sure how the boxing world will react, but I for one have much respect. | Tsy haiko tsara hoe ahoana no mety handraisan'ny tontolon'ny ady totohondry an'izany,fa izaho aloha dia maneho fanajana. |
22 | Applause! | Tehaka! |
23 | Puerto Rican LGBT activist Yoriye Irizarry also expressed himself on Twitter: | Naneho ny heviny ihany koa ny mafana fo an-tserasera LGBT Portorikana Yoriye Irizarry teo amin'ny Twitter: |
24 | @CyborgYoryie: We are all over the place, and Orlando Cruz deserves support. | @CyborgYoryie: Eo amin'ny toerany daholo isika, ary mendrika fanohanana i Orlando Cruz. |
25 | I imagine that it must be difficult to come out of the closet in the world of boxing. primerahora.com/boxeadororland… [es] | Azoko an-tsaina izao hoe sarotra ny miala amin'ny mahazatra ao anatin'ny tontolon'ny ady totohondry. primerahora.com/boxeadororland… [es] |
26 | Pop star Ricky Martin, who also made his sexual orientation public in 2010, tweeted messages of support to Orlando Cruz: | Nibitsika hafatra fanohanana an'i Orlando Cruz ihany koa ny kintana malaza Ricky Martin, izay naneho ny olona ihany koa tamin'ny taona 2010, ny fironany ara-pananahana: |

Tany amin'ny farany, rehefa nahita ny isan'ny olona naneho ny fanohanana azy noho ity filazana ity i Orlando Cruz, dia nibitsika izao hafatra manaraka izao: |
