Josh Cavallo Gay

In October 2021, the Adelaide United player came out as gay. Cavallo is the only known current top-flight professional footballer to come out as gay. Cavallo said in a video posted on Adelaide United’s official website, “I’m a footballer and I’m gay,” “All I want to do is play football and be treated equally. I’m tired of trying to perform at the best of your ability and to live this double life, it’s exhausting. I thought that people would think of me differently when they found out. They would start treating me differently. They would start saying bad things about me or making fun out of me. That’s not the case. If anything, you would earn more respect from people.”

“I have been fighting my sexuality for over six years now, and I’m glad I can put that to rest,” He added in a statement on his Twitter account. “For the people that know me personally, you’ll know I’m a private person. Growing up, I always felt the need to hide myself because I was ashamed. “Ashamed I would never be able to do what I loved and be gay. Hiding who I truly am, to pursue a dream I always wished for as a kid, to play football and be treated equally never felt like a reality.

“Being a gay closeted footballer, I’ve had to learn to mask my feelings in order to fit the mould of a professional footballer. Growing up being gay and playing football were just two worlds that hadn’t crossed paths before. I’ve lived my life assuming that this was a topic never to be spoken about. 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 added.

Cavallo has received support from the football arena, football teams, and fellow professional players, his current club, said in a statement via Adelaide United’s website, “Adelaide United, not only as a football club, but as the embodiment of an inclusive community, supports a remarkable and brave person. We stand alongside Josh for proudly being true to himself and will continue to love and support him as a member of our beautifully diverse family.”

The world of football is far behind and you are helping us move forward.” FC Barcelona also tweeted, “THANK YOU, @JoshuaCavallo, for taking a huge step forward!
