Its hardly a major issue really.
Agreed.
So many people are talking it up as a major issue, exaggerating the extent to which the football world is ridden with homophobia, that it's hardly a surprise that hardly anyone has come out as gay while remaining in professional footballer.
Instead, we need to consider the possibility that most football fans and players are not homophobic, and that, especially in Brighton, any footballer coming out as gay would probably be pushing at an open door.
