Argentina’s first openly gay basketball player, Sebastián Vega, celebrates team victory by unfurling LGBTQ+ Pride Flag
Sebastián Vega, the first gay Argentinian professional basketball player, is celebrating after his club, Boca Juniors, were crowned champions of Argentina’s National Basketball League for the fifth time in their history, following a dramatic last victory over Instituto de Córdoba. The celebrations reached an emotional peak when Vega, one of the team’s standout players, climbed onto the hoop and unfurled the LGBTQ+ Celebration Flag - a strong gesture that resonated far beyond the court.
“Young Seba would be so satisfied of everything I’ve achieved today. It was unthinkable back then, being queer - it just wasn’t possible. There was no one to look up to, no one who had said it or done it before. I had to be the first. It was incredibly tough, there was a lot of pressure, and I still carry a lot that people don’t see. I’m strong, I can handle it, but it’s my family who suffer the most. The most beautiful thing was that when I raised the flag, all the Boca fans applauded. That image will stay with me forever,” said the 37-year-old forward.
