This brave young man has shared his truth with the world.
Josh is a professional soccer player and is believed to be the only current, openly gay male professional footballer in the world after he revealed his sexuality in an emotional video.
Josh’s message brought tears to my eyes.
His video is heartbreaking, but also heartwarming and hopeful, talking about having to hide your true self, the struggles, the fears, but also being optimistic, and and ending with:
“I’m Josh Cavallo, I’m a footballer and I am proud to be gay”.
How shocking and sad is it that this young man is the only known openly gay professional footballer in the world? How sad is it that others have to live in fear while hiding their true selves from others, their team mates, their fans. And how brave of this young man to take this terrifying step he took.
Josh shared more of his struggles and decision to ‘come out’ on his Twitter account:
So, I would like to share my love and support to you Josh.
Be proud, be happy, you are loved and supported.
I’m in literal tears. His coming out was just so beautiful. I’m so happy for him.
