Jake Daniels, the UK's only openly gay active male professional footballer, speaks about his mental health, Jordan Henderson and the 18 months since coming out.
Who’s discouraging support? I’m not sure you realise why people are actually annoyed with Henderson.
If he was really a supporter of lgbt people, why would he work in a country where it is ILLEGAL for us to be there? If I wanted to go and see Henderson play over there, I’d be arrested before I left the airport.
Imagine if singer claimed to be in support of domestic violence victims, and then went and made a song with Chris Brown. Would you then be angry at domestic violence victims for condemning the singer?
Henderson said yes to a ludicrously lucrative contract offer at the end of his playing career, just about every adult in the world who wasnt born rich would do the same for the sake of his family, but so did a lot of other players. Henderson is the only one singled out for criticism though, because he actually took a pro-lgbt stand in public, so the moral of this is to not support lgbt, yes?
Why would they get pushback?
They never claimed to support lgbt people so why would we have issue with them?
Right, so the lesson is to not support lgbt issues.
(Weird lesson…)
That’s a weird way of saying don’t be a sellout…
You would think the lgbt community would want high profile athletes to support their cause though. Seems counterintuitive to discourage it.
