Niblock Podcast on Kevin Penrose 'coming out' as gay (brother of former Tyrobe player Martin).
Seriously .. is being gay even a thing anymore? Does people care? I thought we'd gone past that... as interesting or unique as his hair colour. Like who cares?
If gay player was on my team least of my interest be his sexuality.. is he a good player?!

How many openly gay inter county GAA players are there? I think say there is still a stigma around it, going by the percentage of gay men in the general population in Ireland statistically there's bound to be a fair few on county teams? Yet I can't think of any. 

Mark Shields from Armagh is the only one i can think of off the top of my head

Never knew that

Most stories can turn a bad thing into a positive, spinning it to have a feel good factor

Ive started to listen to them and I get the impression that it's, like let's find a story that pulls at the heart strings more than let's celebrate achievements successes building stuff from grass roots.

Also making injuries into a big topic isn't that bigga thing, also why go for all the county or ex county lads, go to a club each week, get their story, talk to the man that has twenty different jobs on the go, the club players, the history of the club and what it brings to its community it's parish or it's members.

Probably people wouldn't listen if it's Joe bloggs from St Paul's, I know I'd listen but wouldn't probably get that wider audience

Referee Gough and Donal Og ex-player only openly gay intercounty level men I can think of.

It is NOT normalized in GAA at that level yet.

Same with soccer.

I think it is normalised in the GAA I just think there aren't that many gay men playing intercounty football.

Think you answered your own question there. Joe that does 20 jobs at St Paul's doesn't do great in the algorithm in comparison to well known intercounty person.

Honestly how would we know that? Not that it matters one f**k what sexuality the lad is as long as he can play ball.

 I'd say if a few county players did come out, you'd have a big fuss made in support of it by some, the usual clowns will give abuse and then the vast majority wouldn't really be too bothered.

Sexuality is as relevant to the GAA as whether you prefer red sauce or brown sauce, or any sauce at all for that matter, a minority of people yap on to try and remain relevant, tedious to say the least

Laochra Gael veered off in that direction.  Some of them were  depressing

Lost a family member , done his knee in , lost their job,  then the cat getting run over  put the tin hat  on things!
