I Hope to See a Gay Footballer Come Out – Frank Lampard

Gay people are coming out daily, but none has come out in the game of football and Manchester City midfielder, Frank Lampard, while speaking on Channel 4’s Chatty Man, with the host – Alan Carr, who is openly gay – said he hopes to see a gay person come out in football and be treated with respect…

This was made known, when the host insisted that some footballers in England were homosexual, the 36-year-old formal Chelsea player, who said he would always see himself as a ‘Chelsea Boy’ said:

“We have had a couple come out afterwards,” Lampard admitted. “I think it is a fact they will be out there, they are in all lives and times, but we are at fault as a sport. It is that old syndrome where it is a man’s game and you can’t talk about that.
“I have to say the game is changing a lot, there are a lot of campaigns and I feel it in the dressing rooms. I would love it if someone came out and everyone treated it with respect.
“This silly thing that we are macho and we play football is very old hat.”

The also stated that he will always see himself as a “Chelsea boy”, because of the hugely successful time he spent at Stamford Bridge.
