Bisexual AFL player Mitch Brown has opened up about his life after coming out in 2025, saying he feels “at peace”.

Brown appeared on ABC Radio Melbourne on 25 February, during which a previous soundbite was played. Speaking not long after he came out in August, Brown can be heard saying that he “had this feeling of peace… comfort and confidence”.

Speaking this week, he shared more about his thought process behind coming out, saying he was out for years to a handful of “safe” people before he announced it publicly. “I just never once felt that I had the place to speak up,” he said.

“I have my own bi erasure and I grappled with the challenging aspect of that,” he continued candidly. “I’m like, maybe the first person in the AFL men’s competition to come out and speak out publicly should be a gay man, someone that walks down the Brownlow red carpet with a man side by side. And I just never felt that.”

However, his way of thinking soon changed. “I got to a point where I was like, stuff it,” he said. “This has got to stop… harmful patterns of behaviour, not just homophobic slurs in the AFL but men’s behaviour in particular.”

He continued: “I was like, I don’t care if no one knows who I am, I’m just going to say something, and I decided within three days before I came out publicly, I said to myself, ‘Just get to the interview, I'm not even going to think about the reaction. Just get on camera and say those words: I’m a bisexual man.’”

When he came out in August last year, Brown made history as he became the first ever men’s Australian Football League player to come out as bisexual. He told the Daily Aus at the time that he believes there to be closeted players in the AFL today.

As per usual no-one thinks bisexual organisations exist, so none of us are ever invited. If we were invited to send representatives, though, yes we would boycott.

We condemn the recent EHRC statements, and continue to stand with our trans siblings #BWithTheT #AlwaysTogether

[Sheffield BiSocial @SheffieldBiSoc]

reprehensible. It's attacks on trans people are reprehensible. The EHRC is no longer fit for purpose, having been turned into a mouthpiece for the current government's prejudices. We stand with our community and all LGBTQ+ people. #BwithTheT

[Sheffield BiSocial @SheffieldBiSoc]

We appreciate we've been somewhat quiet of late - life has a habit of doing that - but recent events must be addressed. Like many in the LGBTQ+ community we no longer see the EHRC as representing the best interests of our community. It's support of conversion therapy is

The campaigners from #MorePrideEmojis show how difficult it is to succeed in getting a new Pride flag emoji added from, for example, a Bi Pride flag. Read the article ‘We probably won't get a bisexual pride flag emoji anytime soon. Here's why.’👇🤓✍️ They also don’t give up.💪❣️

[EuroBiCon @EuroBiCon]

Absolutely! Thank you for campaigning for more Pride emojis! 🙌

As a rule, we try to be positive here. But we can't let this pass by. The sheer arrogance & hypocrisy of this tweet in the week when the 'equalities minister' Lizz Truss is encouraging all areas of the government to cut ties with the largest LGBTQ charity in Europe is

[Sheffield BiSocial @SheffieldBiSoc]

now, Pride has been becoming more celebration than protest with each passing event. But now is the time to return to our roots, it's time to truly put the Protest back into Pride. We will continue to push efforts to oppose the decline of equality in this country. Take care of one
