What’s it like coming out as a gay man in one of the world’s most traditionally macho sports? In this episode of the Gay Rugby Podcast, we sit down with players from inclusive rugby clubs to talk honestly about their coming out experiences, both on and off the field.These aren’t polished, PR-friendly stories—they’re the raw, real moments that shaped who these players are today. From confronting internalized fear to navigating homophobia in sports, we explore what it means to come out as a gay athlete in a game that hasn’t always made space for queer voices.We also look at how inclusive rugby teams have created a home for LGBTQ+ players around the world—and how the rugby community is changing for the better. Whether you’re part of the queer sports community, a current player, a fan, or just someone curious about what it means to live authentically in a team sport, this episode hits home.
