Aussie Rules football player Jason Ball has come out of the closet publicly. Hes using the opportunity to launch a change.org campaign to encourage the AFL to show an anti-homophobia ad at their Grand Final, which is the AFLs equivalent of the Super Bowl. The game is at the end of September.
Balls story reflects ones weve heard over and over. He saw and heard some homophobia when he was in the closet and teammates (foolishly) assumed there werent any gay guys in the locker room. So he assumed the worst would happen. Instead, hes been met with a positive reaction.

obviously a career that was over before it started.
This bufoon should have stayed in the closet and left it at that. There is no place for his sex fetish in public.

I realized at a young age that I was a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.
