FOOTBALL AS A HOMOEROTIC RUAL -- ARE PLAYERS REALLY GAY?

It still shocks me that over the past 30 years or so, there are no active publicly gay footballers playg the Premier League / Top profsnal Leagu. Wh all the homophobic ments social media whenever clubs change their logos to a rabow pattern or when the Rabow Lac mpaign receivg homophobic ments, my heart breaks to see how homophobic the football world n be. I feel like growg up, havg publicly gay footballers makg the top leagu would be a great role mol for LGBTQ+ football lovers, I hope some n e out soon (of urse, whenever they feel fortable to).

Of urse, as I expected, there are some extremely homophobic and hateful ments but I’ve learnt to ignore them jt like the ments unr every Rabow Lac mpaign over the years. (Cant believe I need to say this but), Beg gay / LGBTQ+ do not mean that our whole liv are around sex and “ the bedroom”, we jt happen to be attracted to another genr and thats totally fe, so how about you go try and acknowledge this unbelievable fact?

Try and unrstand that beg gay is not “polil”, ’s lerally a human right. Beg gay is not wrong, however, beg an asshole is.
