Good post.
I've already stated my thoughts on the fight, but here it goes again:

  1. Cruz stands little chance against Salido. He wasn't all that before declaring himself gay... and he's not going to be all that after declaring himself gay.
  2. Cruz is gay. It is what it is. He certainly doesn't deserve to "take a bullet" or "get a severe beating" because of it. Anyone who wishes this has mental issues and should get help. He's not a criminal... and is not hurting anybody.
  3. I don't think Cruz should deny being gay. But I also think he should politely deflect questions about his personal life. They have nothing to do with boxing.
  4. I personally don't like the attire Cruz has chosen to wear in the ring (and won't be a hypocrite about it), because it continues to promote and encourage discussion of the subject. But it's his choice... and that's that.
