Via Google Translation, an extract from this article in El Periodico.cat:
There are many stories of children who begin kicking a football barefoot in a humble neighborhood and end up reaching the top. Less known are those kids who start playing and are forced to give up football. Walter Garcia's is a story between these caes. "I was very good, but one day my mother told me I had to decide between studying and playing football. And I left. For years I felt incomplete. But Walter was not abandoning his great passion. Even more, over the years he decided to join them in what became his big fight, the fight against discrimination of homosexuals . 'One day I understood that to be a champion one must be oneself.' Now this explains the gold medal around his neck, which the Argentine gay soccer club (SAFGay) just won in the eighth edition the Gay Games held last week in Cologne. "It was very difficult to get here but it was very important to us just this year when Argentina won the gold medal with his own law marriage for the same sex, "says an excited Walter.
