Props to the show for avoidg homophobia when to Keeley (or rather, Jack) announcg her queer relatnship, and when to other characters — cludg both her ex-boyiends — fdg out.

Trent, who revealed that he is also gay and has the support of his fay, gave Col an opportuny to share his tth.

The wrer allowed Col to feel fortable enough to open up and share tails about his experience as a privately gay athlete playg at the hight levels the English Premier League.

There are plenty of gay athlet who are speakg out and leadg the way to advote for social progrs, but as Col explaed, some folks simply don’t want the attentn.

TED LASSO FALLY GOT GAY IN SEASON 3 & FANS ARE THRILLED

This is one of the many reasons there are few openly gay male athlet pro sports. “Some athlet don’t want their beg gay or bi to be part of how they’re most-known.

THE LATT EPISO OF ‘TED LASSO’ IS GAY, GAY, GAY AND MORE GAY

We had more openly LGBTQ+ athlet at the 2021 Olympics than ever before, and we’re seeg more and more openly gay men playg at the profsnal level.

But the gay male iendship the world of sports on a show as big as Ted Lasso was even more powerful. The other shoe seemed about to drop last week's Amsterdam-set episo when Trent followed Col to a gay bar, promptg the athlete to swiftly ex wh the wrer on his heels. Ted Lasso watchers have speculated that AFC Richmond player Col Hugh (Billy Harris) is gay sce early season two, and those spicns were nfirmed season three’s third episo.

Trent then shar wh Col that he’s gay as well, openg the door for Col to — perhaps — tell his teammat and ach. It seems like sports, particularly men’s sports, is among the fields that has been slowt to adapt and accept gay people. There’s a le episo three where Isaac [Kola Bokni] says “That’s a b gay” a risive way.

It’s kd of a two-way street, bee wh the world of the show, no one knows about Trent beg gay eher. But, like all sports, football really is for everyone, and that’s beg more and more apparent as the lik of Josh Cavallo and Jake Daniels start to speak up as profsnal players who jt happen to be gay. At bt, this was a major oversight, and at worse, this absence rerced the notn that gays and sports jt don’t mix.

Whether you like how their stori were handled is another thg entirely, but what’s important here is that Ted Lasso is fally gay, like super gay all of a sudn, jt like all sports and anythg sports-related should be. While we’re still wag to see Jamie Tartt one, plenty of other gay thgs have happened Ted Lasso, so grab a towel and jo the locker room as we unt down some of the bt. Gay Bantr.

THE GAYT THGS THAT HAPPENED “TED LASSO”

Even if you’re one of the few gays who didn’t bee bt iends wh their English teacher at school, this was still a ad giveaway for Col’s secret.

Hannah Waddgham is an unbearably hot gay in who beme actual mother when she -hosted Eurovisn the UK this year. If we’re rankg the gayt thgs that have ever happened Ted Lasso, It don’t get much gayer than two men kissg, right?

What happens Amsterdam stays Amsterdam, unls ’s a betiful g-out scene between baby gay Col and elr gay Trent. But is affirmg, pecially given the homophobia that still persists real life football today.
