The response by some people really does surprise me.
In many countries being gay is illegal.
The only example of a gay footballer as previously mentioned by a previous poster ended their life.
People still have to fight homophobia
When we look at the response to the tragic death of George Floyd it became apparent that not being racist isn't enough, we need to stand up against racists and it is the same for all protected charactistics.
For those who say big deal, or it doesn't matter if they are gay, I can assure you for people who have ever experienced homophobia it does matter.
It's not enough to say we don't see sexuality - we must stand up and support the LGBTQ+ community which includes Jake Daniels.
I hope he inspires others struggling with their sexuality to know they are loved and valued
