En_Sabah_Nur 9,366 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I decided to do a google search tonight to see how many Openly Gay footballers/soccer players are out there currently... And I came across the story of the first one to come out as Openly Gay, and it is such a sad story indeed... 😢 Justin Fashanu: Public Admission: YES Justin Fashanu was the still the only footballer to have come out openly as gay and that was way back in 1990, he played for Norwich, Nottingham Forest and Southampton along with 15 other clubs in england and australia. It took 10 years for him to admit publicly that he is gay and he admitted in 1990. But as soon as he came out public he suffered terrible abuse from the fans everywhere he played and had to move clubs almost every six months. He took his own life in 1998 after he was accuse of raping a 16 year old boy. http://www.totalsportek.com/list/homosexual-footballers/ Egypt.

Robo Ga 15,614 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I read about this recently. So sad. We still have a long way to go for acceptance, but this story is a reminder of how much worse things used to be for LGBT athletes - even in the 90's. 🤖⚡️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkTheFunk 125,703 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 "Public Admission" I hate that. Having to "admit" that you're gay implies that you've done something wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 117,023 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I don't need one. I just want to to know them as someone talented, it is their decision to stay in closet or come out.

Why young gay men are three times more likely to attempt suicide. Yep. Stay in the closet, as long as they pay you enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
