Chilean sailor makes history after announcing he is gay

A sailor in Chile has become the first serving member of the Chilean armed forces to announce he is gay.

Mauricio Ruiz, 24, told a televised news conference his decision had "not been easy", but he wanted to help fight discrimination against homosexuals.

Mr Ruiz said that what was most important was not a soldier's sexual orientation, but his or her willingness to serve the country.

His announcement came with the full backing of the Chilean armed forces.

Like other parts of Latin America, Chile remains a conservative society, especially towards gay marriage.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has come out in favour of the idea, but the majority of Chileans oppose it.

Statistically 1 in 10 people are gay. That is what I learned in health class . You say conservative, I say homophobic Chairman. Same for India, so many afraid to say they are gay because of the society. Unfortunate .


Mauricio Ruiz I applaud you.

Wow. You really are a narrow minded fool. First you get on me for calling Putin a fool. Now you are basically using a hateful term for gay people and acting homophobic. And my post was asinine ? How old are you pal ? 5 years old ? It looks like you are black from the posts you have written .  Using the n-word is just as bad as calling a gay person a f*g .
