| Accepted: Paul Doran-Jones feels gay men in sport should feel comfortable in coming out. |
Harlequins star Paul Doran-Jones has spoken out about gay men in sport as the prop has refreshingly claimed that they can come out 'knowing it's all accepted'.
The 28-year-old has a 10-month old baby with his girlfriend of four years, but understands how difficult it can be for gay sportsmen to open up about their sexuality.
Doran-Jones told Attitude Magazine: 'Of course there are loads of gay guys in sport and when they are ready they will come out knowing it's all accepted.'

'We live in a world where most people don't care that people are gay, that they are party of society.'
However, Doran-Jones does admit that rugby players may find it easier to come out than footballers.
He added: 'I think rugby players are pretty open minded actually. Gareth (Thomas) was brave because no one had done it before but having come out he has thrived and he is happy.'
'He's an amazing example about getting out, not hide it and enjoy it, embrace.'
