“What’s Wrong With You”: Alongside Girlfriend Holly Sonders, Oscar De La Hoya Being the Grand Marshal of Las Vegas Pride Parade Raises Eyebrows Among Fans

In an unexpected turn of events, Oscar De La Hoya appeared as the Grand Marshal in the Las Vegas Pride Parade. The event celebrates social and self-acceptance, achievements, legal rights, and pride for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members of the community. So, what was the former Mexican boxer doing there? The same question confused the boxing world when De La Hoya shared a clip from the parade.

Back in 2007, some racy photos of the CEO of ‘Golden Boy Promotions’ surfaced online. The ‘Golden Boy’ denied its authenticity initially but came out clean about the pictures. He claimed the pictures were the result of alcohol and cocaine abuse. Ever since those pictures, there have been rumors about De La Hoya’s sexuality in the boxing world. However, the recent tweet from De La Hoya has reignited those rumors, sparking a conversation in the comment section of the tweet.

A clip from Oscar De La Hoya raises questions about his sexuality from fans

The video shows Oscar De La Hoya and his girlfriend, Holly Sonders, seated in a car, waving at the onlookers passing along the parade route. While some users showed support, others left scathing remarks about the clip.

One user expressed admiration and support for De La Hoya while asserting he deserves to be the Grand Marshal for the parade. The user also acknowledged that De La Hoya is an inspiration for a lot of people across the globe.

Unlike the first user, this person wasn’t so kind with his words. The user asked if De La Hoya came out as a homosexual. It’s worth mentioning that Shane Mosley has known De La Hoya for a long time, and he claims Oscar is not gay.

Another user dragged Canelo Alvarez into the mix. The user suggested that De La Hoya talks about Canelo so much because of a personal attraction. Notably, De La Hoya was Canelo’s former promoter, but the pair parted ways after a dispute regarding the breach of their contract.

The next user simply questioned what was wrong with Oscar, which led him to join the pride parade. The parade welcomes anyone who feels their sexuality falls outside traditional norms. However, straight people often attend the event to show their support.

One user highlighted the fact that De La Hoya dressed up in fishnet stockings and lingerie before. Hence, it’s logical for him to be the Grand Marshal for the pride parade. 

Oscar intended to show his support for the LGBTQ community by participating in the pride parade. But it backfired as fans misinterpreted the reasoning behind the clip. What do you think about Oscar De La Hoya? Do you think Oscar is homosexual?
