Alex was now free, and there was nothing to stop us from being bound for Gayville. The fact that I was still happy in my job was a mere detail. https://www.blackgayblog.com/2019/07/07/bound-for-gayville/?feed_id=81&_unique_id=6036816a61369

"Those who say you can't be black, gay and proud of it are ignorant." #JustinFashanu Born February 19, 1961 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (PART 1 more parts on @therelevantqueer ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ProfessionalUKfootballer Justin Fashanu, the first and only #openlygay professional footballer in the UK, was born in London. As infants, Fashanu and his younger brother were given up for adoption after their parents’ divorce. Adopted by a white family in a very white Norfolk, Fashanu was an anomaly from an early age. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fashanu was the first black footballer to earn a £1 million fee, when he transferred from #NorwichCity to #NottinghamForest in 1981. After making the switch though, in the era of 1980’s Britain, when British society was extremely homophobic, rumours spread about Fashanu’s sexuality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only recently had #homosexuality been even partially decriminalised in England and Wales. Unsurprisingly, bias against gay men and gay sex was rampant, especially in sports. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On October 22, 1990, Fashanu announced through a Sun exclusive, that he was #gay. He also disclosed that even though the Sun had paid him for exclusivity, he was offered even more money by friends and family not to come out. Fashanu’s brother, John, offered to buy his silence for £75,000. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 Cred On #therelevantqueer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #queeringthecanon #queerexcellence #professionalfootballer #queerfootballer #homosexuality #ForbiddenGames #thejustinfashanufoundation #queersports #professionalsports #blacklivesmatter #blackexcellence #queervisibility #amplifyqueervoices #queerculture #queerheritage #queerman #queerhistory #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQ #importantqueerstories #queerrepresentation @ia_troy_wise @5by5forever #troywise #rickguzman https://instagr.am/p/CaLNwErsh_q/
