Spain’s first openly LGBTQ+ matador, Mario Alcalde, hopes his coming out will inspire others in the bullfighting industry. Alcalde, 31, revealed he's pansexual last month, aiming to normalize LGBTQ+ identities. Alcalde's decision was spontaneous, but he says coming out boosted his social media following. Currently working as a baggage handler at Madrid-Barajas Airport, he plans to establish an LGBTQ+ bullfighting club in Chueca, Madrid's LGBTQ+ neighborhood. Alcalde's bold move challenges norms in the traditionally macho sport, advocating for inclusivity and acceptance. By coming out, he paves the way for a more diverse and inclusive future in bullfighting. #Queer Up The World View
