Víctor Gutiérrez
Víctor Gutiérrez is a prominent Spanish water polo player and politician, known for being the first openly gay athlete in a team sport in Spain when he came out in 2016. He has since become an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, serving as the secretary of LGTBI policies for the PSOE and a member of the Spanish Congress. Gutiérrez's decision to share his story stemmed from a desire to be a role model for others, as he faced self-rejection and fear during his youth.
