Who actually cares? Someone’s sexuality is no business of mine.
or mine.
They're gay, they obviously want attention and look fabulous while getting it.

Because nobody has done in a very long time. It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is.
Ah! who gives a fuck
Because it makes it safe for others who are gay to come out. It reduces the stigma around being gay. It takes a lot of courage to be openly gay in sport, where heteronormative behavior and toxic masculinity are often the expectation.
It will be great when that overwhelming reaction!
Considering there has never been an openly gay player in the EPL, or any major league I can think of, while they were still playing its very obviously still a major issue within sport that none of them feel safe enough to come out. Whether that's because they feel that fans/teammates/sponsors will treat them differently I don't know, but let's not pretend it's not a thing.
He’s the only active professional footballer in world footballer who’s come out as gay. So ya kinda a big deal no?
His sexuality is nobody else’s business but his own. It’s not a big deal. We shouldn’t care.
It shouldn't be, but of course it is a big deal.
Jesus Christ.
Pretty sure he was gay too... but didn’t come out.
So you don’t think if people weren’t ashamed they wouldn’t all come out willingly?
Why else would people hide it is my question?
Is that an actual question or are you just trying to elicit responses?
I think he's actually that stupid.
It’s an actual question that I’m trying to get elicit responses to
We don’t live in Saudi or under Sharia, so I ask the question again.
Why else? Because there is still a huge amount of homophobia in the world. Most football fans are great. Some are total dickheads who would be really fucking cruel about it. You either already know that though or else you are actually that thick.
Sure don't those gay lads love all that homophobic chanting from the opposition fans.
And those wind ups by homophobic opponents.
Not to mention how they love giving extra ammunition to all those anonymous keyboard wankers on social media to abuse them further.
Frankly I'm surprised that there are not loads more of them out.
