But that was not all, Boitano then dropped a bombshell and revealed about his sexuality. Boitano who had no intentions to come out as a gay told,
"I don't feel that I can represent the country without revealing this incredible side of myself,"
. "This is an important moment, and to represent my country in Russia, it's a platform that is so important for me."
He then continued,
“When the president named the delegation, and I read in the news what his message was of tolerance and diversity, I thought, I have to take this opportunity,’’
“I think the message is so strong. I’ve always wanted to represent my country as best I could, and I knew that I had to go past my comfort zone and reveal a private side of my life that I’ve never done before because I felt that the message is so strong.”
He also expressed his desires for other countries to accept open lives of people.
"Our nation is at the forefront of trying to create a more tolerant public,"
"The president is kind of saying to Russia that, as a strong country, we believe in this and if you don't follow along, we will leave you behind in this thought process."
