Professional male soccer player Josh Cavallo comes out as gay in world first
LBC ^ | Oct 27 | By Daisy Stephens

Professional footballer (soccer player) Josh Cavallo has come out as gay, becoming the first current professional footballer in the world to do so.

Writing on his Twitter account, the Australian footballer said it had been a "journey" to get to a point where he could speak openly about his sexuality but he was "proud" to make the announcement.

"Today, I'm ready to speak about something personal that I'm finally comfortable to talk about in my life," wrote the Adelaide United player.

"I am proud to publicly announce that I am gay.

"It's been a journey to get to this point in my life, but I couldn't be happier with my decision to come out."

He said he had been "fighting" his sexuality for six years, having grown up thinking he could never be a professional footballer because of it.

"Growing up, I always felt the need to hide myself because I was ashamed," he continued.

"Ashamed I would never be able to do what I loved and be gay.

"Hiding who I truly am, to pursue a dream I always wished for as a kid, to play football and be treated equally never felt like a reality."

The 21-year-old said it was "astonishing" that there were no active professional footballers in the world that have come out as gay.

So now there will be all sorts of wackadoodles talking about how brave this pervert is even though in this so-called culture being a poofter is practically an asset.

Why in the world did this queer think the world needed to know that he is a homosexual? Where’s the shame he should be feeling?

He’s been performing poop chute follies, and that’s enough for a culture that has elevated what people do with their genitalia to be the highest possible expression of the pursuit of happiness.

Around here, they've been bulldozing pitcher's mounds and turning baseball diamonds into soccer pitches. Even did it to 'Vinny Castilla Field'!

I think the fact that all soccer is gay is a much greater threat than the other soccer adage, 'Everyone's a winner.'

‘...even though in this so-called culture being a poofter is practically an asset.’

not for long, not with the mad rush to overpromote the latest in sexualized deviation from the norm; this character is way behind the curve, and will will have to parlay his diminishing homosexual cache soon, or be swept away by the current debauchery du jour, trangenderism...

very shortly, some NFL player will ome out as trans, and will inartfully advance the notion that ‘females’ can play the violent sport as well as males, while s/he will demand his own private locker space...

“Professional footballer (soccer player) Josh Cavallo has come out as gay, becoming the first current professional footballer in the world to do so.”

Naa, Dallas had William Gay DECADES before this guy came out.

Monty Python literally were generations ahead of their time. Little of their material could be broadcast today without the Gaystapo and the Cancel Nazis going ballistic.

It is time now for professional athletes who have sex with farm animals to speak up for their rights and come clean!
