tumblr, meet your pink flower-wearing, gender-stereotype-defying, global superstar athlete prince:
I donāt know why people are so interested in what I wear on holiday. Last year, when I was in LA, everyone was talking about my tight trunks. Have you seen what people in LA wear? I was the most normal dressed person over there. Anyway, whatās wrong with wearing tight pants? They look good and itās better than having tan lines down your legs.Ā
This year it was the pink hat with the flower. I donāt see what is wrong with it. I can see why, if you werenāt comfortable with your sexuality, you might not wear it. But Iām very comfortable so itās not a problem for me. Men wear pink these days. OK, not many men wear flowers, but itās good to be different.
he also supports gay marriage:
āThe Portuguese man that I am, I try to keep informed about what is happening in my country. I know the law was passed and the comment it deserves is that we must respect the choices made by anyone, because, after all, all citizens should have the exact same rights and responsibilities.ā
and is a bone marrow donor:
Iāve been a bone marrow donor for several years. (Donating bone marrow) is something a lot of people think is a difficult thing to do but itās nothing more than drawing blood and doesnāt hurt. I did it many years ago and if I had to do it again I would because this is a very serious disease for many children and we need to help them. Thereās no age limit to this problem, so I think itās a good time to tell people they can do it. It doesnāt cost anything, itās a simple process and then you feel happy because you know you are helping another person.ā
he also publicly speaks outĀ against racism,Ā has committed his time and efforts to forest conservation in southeast asia (as part of his decade-long advocacyĀ for the victims and survivors of the 2004 tsunami), andĀ personally intervened to stop a teenaged fan from being deported after the guy ran onto the field to meet him at a match, among other things.Ā
