Rugby is a brutal sport, akin to American football without pads, but the decision to come out of the closet was still frightening to English professional player Levi Davis. In the end, he texted teammates to reveal he was bisexual rather than coming out in person.
“Hi guys. I just want to tell you something that’s been eating away at me for four years now,” Davis recalled of the text. ‘I want to be open and honest with you boys, as friends and team-mates. I’m bisexual.”
Davis learned he had nothing to fear, as he received nothing but support from fans and teammates alike after coming out.
