Might sound like an odd question to throw out there of a Friday afternoon but spent my lunch break at work having the debate with a colleague about the lack of gay footballers that are out. I'm of the opinion that they're in an environment that doesn't lend itself to them coming out, where as he is adamant there's a disproportionately low number of homosexual footballers, for reasons he couldn't really explain. Said they would gravitate to other careers, which is why he believes it transcends to the stands too. I'm not sure about that, but of the 3 gay people I know, none have any interest in football. |  |

Can I ask what has upset you so much? I knew there were because of the discussions about Rainbow Tractors where several said they were. |  |

You completely misunderstood what J2 said there.
He's perfectly right. There's a couple of fairly regular posters at least who are openly gay.
It's not like it's an issue. |  |

I don't make a massive deal out of it but yeah I am gay and it's not a secret.
The football environment is a difficult one I would imagine for people to feel comfortable about coming out in. There's all sorts of abuse you are subject to in a ground during a match where emotions are high, being gay inevitably draws you as a target. It's also a sport of high machoism and dominated by it across all corners of the football culture.
I don't think it's unique to football, all male sports are high on machoism and machoism and homosexuality do not really get on.
This coming from a 6 foot 5 bloke who loves playing sport when younger and following it. So that pi$$es on the stereotypes as I have described. Then again I am confident and comfortable in my sexuality which makes it easier |  |

He came into the thread, burnt brightly and intensely, then disappeared again in the blink of an eye. Magical, really. | |

Thanks for your sensible answer, it's interesting to me. Sad too I have to say, if indeed you're right that 'football' isn't a sufficiently inclusive and open environment for some to feel they can be themselves. As you say it shouldn't be and isn't an issue to the many. [Post edited 3 Nov 2017 15:35]
