But, he said, he was grateful that the photo conveyed a message of diversity, naturalness, closeness, and the utmost sensitivity.By the end of that year, however, Lejrraga and Fernandez were appearing together in a segment on Spanish public TV broadcaster RTVE, in which he said he had no regrets about coming out.I feel like it wouldnt be fair to myself, and especially to my partner, to continue hiding and doing things like not mentioning him or pretending hes not there, he said. I wanted to take the step.As Outsports notes, Lejrraga also recently shared his experience as a gay athlete in the TV documentary The Courage to be Visible.
