I'm gonna tip toe around the topic and go back to gay footballers, and I would like to see players come out if they feel they need to, hopefully it will help decrease the stigma around the subject.
No need for all this over the top Bruce Jenner rubbish though. Good on it, but was over the news after a day. Do it and be done with it.

Could be bi/pansexual
Sorry if I jumped on you prematurely there mate! I was tired and grumpy from working a night shift then seeing some absolute dregs talking rubbish about guessing who the two guys are on a few other places before I came here!

really don't see how people have a problem with any of this. It's a big deal to those involved due to the stigma associated with it and the fear of being treated differently due to it by friends, family, co-workers, classmates, etc. if coming out makes a person feel more at ease and comfortable then more power to them. It's similar to any other kind of stigma whether it be mental illness, ethnicity,etc.

Deffo Lallana, my gaydar's going mad for him.
In all seriousness it shouldn't matter whether someone is gay or straight, but it's a big deal for a Premier League footballer to come out and a vast majority of fans would at least have an interest whether they care or not. It's a brave thing to do considering the alarming number of backwards idiots that go to some grounds.

Are you comparing the civil rights movement with gay fan groups at football matches? Wow back atcha.
But seriously, the point I appear to be struggling to make is that by creating an identity gives the haters a target. If all ginger Everton fans formed a group and sat together in the pub and in the grounds, at some point they would get taunted. Now a group of gay football fans is not as visually identifiable but you can guarantee that some level of taunting or abuse would eventually take place if, for example, some knuckle-dragger gets wind that he's sat next to a gay fan group.
Protest groups and fights for rights are a whole world away from what I'm talking about.

Interesting turn of phrase for this particular thread.
