GAY PREMIERSHIP FOOTBALLER(S)

As the World Cup go on a untry where homosexualy is illegal, many global football fans are havg to reckon wh the sports' soccer remas one of the most popular sports around the world, very few players have been able to e out and enjoy a succsful reer afterwards. Gay players face prsure om teammat, ownership, ach, and fans over their are some of the men who have e out, fightg those stereotyp, and pavg the way for LGBTQ+ athlet who e after them. Atralian striker Andy Brennan me out as gay 2019, beg the first out gay Atralian male footballer.

He me out 2011, and won the seventh season of Swedish realy show Let's Dance, beg the first out gay person to w. His early clubs knew he was gay, and he me out durg his reer, beg the first pro footballer to do so.

OPENLY GAY FOOTBALLERS

In 2014, he beme Bra's hight-profile out, gay player, and was the first out, gay male player to play at Wembley. He later me out as gay and has sce spoken out about the difficulti queer players face. The South Ain footballer beme Ai's first out, gay male footballer when he me out 2015.

GAY FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Rogers me out as gay 2013, beg the first out gay man to pete a top North Amerin pro sports league when he played for the LA Galaxy that same year.

Later, he revealed he qu the sport as a rult of homophobia he faced when he me out. Evra: "There are at least two gay footballers per team, but if you say you'll them forever". It's always "a gay player g out" or thkg that players are wh women to pretend to be straight but...

GAY FOOTBALLERS

I n’t believe that some people thk jt bee a guy drs a b differently he might be gay or will be trans (as if there’s somethg wrong wh that), and even throwg out there the ia of him beg child molter, based purely on how he drs? Jt shows how football is still so homophobic, misogynistic and, at tim, genuely bleepg nox. I've been havg discsns wh people on twter about the Don't say gay bill as they believe that kids krgarten are gog to be gettg tght about gay sex ffs and how "sick" is that kids should be tght that 's alright to have 2 mum's or 2 dad's or a trans parent etc.

I personally wouldn’t date a man who drs how DCL do as ’s not my cup of tea and no way would I ever slanr him or anyone else who drs a ltle different to what society ems to be “normal” The timg of the article uldn’t of been at a worse moment pecially sce Everton are circlg the plug hole but don’t give those Everton fans or any football fan the right to gra DCL or speculate if he’s gay. To start lifetime bans at all stadiums for racist or homophobic abe and those people to face hate crime charg would be a start. The fact that this Guy and others like him are aaid to be who they are shows that Football really has no ia on how to al wh gay or bisexual footballers beg out and open - is the clubs, sponsers or the fans?

8 MALE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WHO DARED TO COME OUT AS GAY

The fact that Jt Fashanu killed himself over this is heartbreakg enough the first place - 30 years later and Gay Footballers are still aaid to e out! do you thk Football is the dark ag wh regards to Profsnal Gay or Bi Footballers beg unable to e out?

Or is that some of the fans who watch them or support the team they play are homophobic and bee of that they may be subjected to homophobic abe on the terrac? Football has always been seen as a macho workg class sport but gay and bi men exist every area of society and y even football but somethg mt wrong wh the game for the Men to be sred and unfortable to be able to reveal their te selv.

Your rrect of urse, I need to answer the qutn, Football seems to be one of the few sports left where a profsnal footballer g out as gay or bi remas a taboo, why is that I ask? The FA have to their cred tried to support gay and bi players but are they dog enough?

GAY PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALLER

Every six months or so we see an article about a player revealg that he is gay or bi but stoppg short of actually 'g out'. I also note that Tennis still has no openly gay male players eher and I would argue there that the ATP Tour is not dog enough to support gay/bi male players on the profsnal Mens circu. Some football fans will be homophobic and the ia that a guy their team may be gay or bi is somethg they would jt not accept - tryg to te the people would be very hard bee this is learned behavur which is difficult to change and is rooted their belief that footballers nnot be gay or bi.

So Edutn is probably the bt way of workg through the issue but the fact remas that 2020 a gay/bi profsnal footballer should be able to be hont about who they are and sadly we are still not at the pot where they n be. But wh a world cup a strict Arabic untry and parts of the parts of the world where beg gay is not seen posively you have to thk about the players safety as well.

THIS 'GAY FOOTBALLER' LARK

Yeah untertg a gay man is happily a lovg relatnship and supported by his team mat and club and choos to keep their relatnships prv for the sake of football. Thats the nature of the drsg room, I would expect to be ramped up tim 100 if a player was gay. When bg someone is treated more harshly than homophobia, you n beg to unrstand a ltle where the problem is.

I remember a Fulham player a few years back was fed a paltry £5, 000 for a homophobic tweet directed at Patrick Bamford. The very fact he is a Rangers player would see him receive horrendo abe om opposg fans, shouldn’t be an issue, if there was a time the near future a player of ours was to publicly say he was Gay, I would hope he would receive 100% support om everyone nnected to the club. I know of one player who was gay, played for the last 20 years, he lived wh a guy who was the son of a close fay iend.

BRA'S GAY FOOTBALLERS

There is/was a mour (and I strs mour) I heard that a current first team member was gay.

If we signed a gay footballer he would be weled wh open arms by the Rangers fay. What would be the reactn if a current Rangers player for example me out as gay... A wee asi, the day Jelavic won the cup for wh pass om Vladimir Weiss, me and my miss went to Speakeasy (gay bar) Merchant Cy.

Cool story and all, but aye, uldn't give one%^*& if one of our players was gay.

The problem that would arise is that they would be immune to cricism, as would be twisted as beg homophobic. The other issue would be opposn fans, there is no way a player would not get a few homophobic ments and sniggers when playg at an away ground, pecially Stland.

Image the stick a gay Rangers player would get at Parkhead, Ptodrie or Easter Road. We’d rally round any player that me out as gay, as long as they didn’t play a stray pass an OF game, then they uld GTF. Image beg a gay footballer n an Islamic or Ain untry now that would be brave( or suicidal).

Anyone who might have a problem wh a gay Rangers player won’t be sayg so here!
