Robbored Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Fair play to him especially at such a young age. He may well have been influenced by Nigel Owens and Gareth Thomas both from the very macho sport of rugby and the positive reaction that they got that gave him the confidence to come out.

italian dave Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 1 hour ago, Wanderingred said: About 15 years ago, I was mocked on this very forum for creating a thread saying that I felt uncomfortable with homophobic chants… some of the responses were vile. Now a player comes out as gay and the response is overwhelmingly supportive. If this forum is representative of our fanbase, it shows how much more inclusive we are at BCFC these days! Jake Daniels’ coming out is rather bittersweet. In one sense, it’s a sign of progress that a player is comfortable enough to come out. But it also shows how far we still have to go because in an ideal world, this wouldn’t even be newsworthy. How far we still have to also in the sense that he’s the first feels able to come out.

Eddie Hitler Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 In a way it's comical that it has taken so long for a professional footballer to be honest about this given maybe 2 or 3 per cent of people are gay (IME, not going from any article) so that's a lot of footballers out there keeping it quiet. Well done to the guy for having the courage to be the first. IIRC Justin Fashanu came out after his career proper had ended. Sadly hanged himself a mile or so from where I was living at the time because of accusations from his time coaching in the US. Round of applause for Jake Daniels for to his own self being true.

And Its Smith Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Shame there are jokes about this and will be abuse. Just have to hope that the people who make them don’t have family members who are gay. Can only imagine what it would be like to come out to a family member and be ridiculed for it. Well done to Jake. Some will say it’s not relevant but listen to opinions from LGBTQ+ people and you will only hear extremely positive reaction to this news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely Daniels would have been very aware of both Thomas and Owens coming out. Whilst it’s not hot public news these days I daresay that in the gay community it’s considered an amazingly courageous step to take and seen as a positive step towards homosexuality becoming normalised in much the same way that heterosexuality is.

Yes I know, but since the HIV diagnosis Thomas has become more vocal, to be what you want to be. So I can sort of see what Robbored is blabbing about. (I know I’ve banged my head a few times defending Robbored) Gareth Thomas is in my opinion a great ambassador towards the gay community and shows that there is no reason to hide who you are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexukhc Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Jake at 17 and hasn’t rather than come out after a long illustrious career, realising maybe if I came out earlier he’d of been a better player, not get that move because dare I say a manager or club was against it, but right at the start letting the world know, the future is his, this is him, take him as he is, like him then respect and if you don’t, don’t dislike him because of his sexuality.. hopefully has the talent and scores loads, as as I’m sure he will want to be known for most 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
