Personally I've nothing against folk who are openly gay, it's who you are and you make your own way through life.
I wonder how many more footballers of the English Leagues may now announce they're openly gay?
Ignorant neanderthals have always seen football as a macho manly sport where being gay, would and probably and still is frowned upon and something for these morons to latch on to. The young man will probably face ridicule throughout his career but hopefully he focuses on his game and doesn't let it affect his progression.
For the record, I'd have no objection to a gay player representing our team.
