"Professional football: Jake Daniels of Blackpool FC has come out as gay - the first player in 30 years to do so.
Jake said "I'm delighted at the reaction of the press and the public. The only embarrassing bit was my family and friends finding out I've been playing for Blackpool. I'd told them I had a Saturday job at Burger King."
Thanks! And it's been interesting not off-putting. I like this way of doing it, although I would have been tempted to make the Saturday job very gay and something you'd normally not share with your parents. Not quite sure how you'd do that without risking homophobia or not being sex positive and whatnot, mind (my first thought had been rent-boy...)
And thanks to Gappy and Lazzard too. I think that gag might appeal to a different age demographic than DMs targets though.
