LGBT FC - Pride on the Pitch - with Collin Martin
play

03/12/24 • 46 min

We are rolling into 2024 with North Carolina FC midfielder and, more importantly, the only currently out men's footballer in North America, Collin Martin!
First, Bryant joins as guest co-host as we recap the first couple weeks of LAFC's MLS season and a big win for the US Women's National Team. Then at 10' we have a Day in Gay that brings some welcome news from across the country, an update on the tragic death of Nex Benedict, a big result for Jakub Jankto, and then queerness representing at the inaugural women's CONCACAF Gold Cup Final.
Then at 18' we welcome Collin (Insta @cm7md and on Twitter/X @martcw12). He shares about his big coming out in 2018 while at Minnesota United, making him the only openly gay active men's footballer at the time, and also offers his thoughts on why more players aren't out and what it will take for a more LGBTQ+ supportive environment in the beautiful game. Oh, and you won't want to miss his answers to our two most important questions for all our guests. Thank you so much to Collin for joining LGBT FC.
Have a gay day!
