Australian soccer star Josh Cavallo comes out as gay, becoming the only openly gay male top-level professional soccer player in the world.

Cavallo revealed that he had already come out privately to his family, friends and teammates, and that he thought they would start treating him differently. Instead, he said that the response has been"incredible."

Speaking to reporters outside of the club's stadium on Wednesday, Adelaide United head coach Carl Veart"We want our players to be themselves, to express themselves to be the best person that they can be," Veart said."Not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well."“I hope that in sharing who I am, I can show others who identify as LGBTQ+ that they are welcome in the football community," he wrote.

Yummy

I care because he’s the only one. If it’s not relevant to you, that’s fine. I just want this to be as much of a non-issue that many people think it is, but it clearly still is an issue. Statistically, he’s likely one of hundreds worldwide who do not feel they can live openly.

Good for him. I’m sure he’s not the only one.

Not news.

He should be abandoned from the team … because there is soccer tournament for females and another for males … this creature doesn’t belong to any of them … he should wait until they make a tournament for unspecified gender.

Since when is an Australian soccer player a top level player ? Answer never !!! Good for him he came out hard to live your life hiding who you are soccer futbol

Didn't take long for homophobics to jump into the comments with their 'Nobody cares' comments.

That's awesome!
