Borja Iglesias has shown over the months that he is very aware of the LGTBI movement and that he is willing to fight for it. The Betis striker has become one of the most visible faces when it comes to fighting for the collective and so that each person is free to show themselves the way they want.
A few weeks ago, the footballer attended a wedding with a bag that he used as a complement. An act that generated a multitude of homophobic criticisms on social networks, but which failed to intimidate him. Since then, he has set out to defend the right to be free, especially through his Instagram account. Now, Iglesias has opened up about his feelings in a new publication.
Borja Iglesias has wanted to share a piece of his heart with his followers and has opened a time for questions through his Instagram stories. Among other things, the footballer has received a question that has made him show his feelings. “Do you cry often? Do you think we shouldn’t be ashamed to tell it?” One of his followers sent him.
Faced with this question, the striker has not hesitated to answer with total sincerity. “I cry a lot. When I need it. Sometimes with joy and other times with sadness,” he forcefully assured. “I think we have to cry if it comes out and enjoy those moments too, even if they are hard at times,” he wanted to conclude, making it clear that, for him, following emotions is not a bad thing.
Not only has he wanted to show his opinion about it, but he has accompanied it with a photograph in which he has revealed his eyes with some impregnated emotion. And it is that if something has become clear, it is that he is not shy when it comes to exposing himself as he is, without filters, and publishing everything he thinks and believes is fair.
“I send a lot of encouragement to those of you who are still in prehistory, it must be very difficult not to evolve and continue conditioning yourself instead of enjoying how precious life is,” he announced when the bag controversy broke out.
The footballer wanted to take advantage of his fame to try to make the world of football aware of a reality: the LGTBI collective also has rights. “Hello, I’m Borja Iglesias and I’m straight.” This is how the video that the player published on his social networks began along with the communication agency Mucho Bambú.
In this publication, an assumption is shown in which being heterosexual is frowned upon by society, to end up saying: “Wouldn’t this ever happen? And why the other? A campaign to fight against LGTBIphobia that, without a doubt, has managed to capture the eyes of thousands of people.
