I saw the A-league soccer player who plays for Adelaide, Josh Cavallo who came out last year interviewed by the drag queen Courtney Act. Coming out turn dout to be unproblematic for him.
He said as professional players, team members are trained not to react to slurs from spectators, but later in the discussion, he did say he found a homophobic slur by a spectator at one match hurtful. He said people including parents tell him all the time that the has changed their lives. Overall he came over as very happy.
