Coming out as a gay male Gaelic footballer
Kevin Penrose, Tyrone, a brother who won Sam Maguire twice, a job in social media
Kevin Penrose has come out as gay. Something quite normal, except it's not in Gaelic Games. in Ladies football and camogie, it's more common to be gay. In men’s football and hurling- it isn’t! Why is that? This is Kevin's story, how he battled with his sexuality, the fear of coming out and the reaction from his teammates and family. In truth, this podcast is perhaps more impactful on those of us who are not gay. Language, creating a safe space. Being better for others. It's a frank, honest and illuminating conversation between Thomas, Oisin and Kevin and an absolutely brilliant listen. Thank-you Kevin, for telling us your story. The wild outdoors and earning a living off social media is the new career path for Kevin- and there's more to come
