[QUOTE="Myles O'Reilly, post: 79458, member: 121"] Following the study of the Women's Soccer World Cup last year where 40% of the participants were found to be lesbians, I opened the paper this week to realise the same thing is probably true of Women's Gah. [B][SIZE=6]GAA All-Star expecting baby with wife urges more male players to come out as gay[/SIZE][/B] Geraldine Doherty, 37, said "I always found the GAA to be so equal and so inclusive. My sexuality was never an issue. The GAA was such a safe place and it was my safe place." But I think on the male side of things, there's still a certain uncomfortable feeling around being gay. If you think of it, there are thousands of guys playing GAA but there are no intercounty players in hurling or GAA, in my mind, that has come out. Not since Donal Og Cusack really. The referee David Gough has been a great ambassador for the LGBT community and there are a lot of ladies in the LGFA who have come out because they feel it is a very comfortable and supportive environment. We need a male player to come out and break that mould and get rid of any remaining stigma once and for all."
