In 1990, British-Nigerian footballer, Justin Fashanu, became the first male professional player to publicly come out as gay.
As reported by Prime People, he told The Sun that before coming out, he had had secret relationships with a senior British politician, television stars, and fellow footballers.
"I had a relationship with a Division One player. This guy was a top footballer in the north but, like me, he was trapped in a macho sport and seeking male company within it.
"The greatest thing about getting all this off my chest now is that I won't have to live the lie any longer. I can be honest and say, 'I'm gay.' Now does that make me a better or worse person?"
At the time, Fashanu had already played for Manchester City, Southampton, and Nottingham Forest, where he became the first Black footballer in Britain to command a £1 million transfer fee in 1981.

The Instagram post featuring the video is filled with comments from teachers agreeing with her that it’s a growing concern.

Went of FB messenger and saw someone seriously cursing me out for editing his story on the anthology. I found his number and called him. Introduced myself and he started to laugh.
