2010: Earlier this year Cristina sat down with her younger brother, Ignacio Saralegui, to talk about the difficult time he had coming out as a gay man to their conservative Cuban parents. During the heartfelt interview, Cristina shared this message with her fans: “Tomen consciencia del apoyo que necesita una persona cuando sale del closet y manténgase unidos.” [Be aware of the support that a person needs when they come out of the closet and stay united.]

The interview demonstrated Cristina's true support for her brother during that difficult time, but it was also a great moment of journalism in which she used her visibility to encourage tolerance and acceptance.
