In the NEW issue of GT, they welcome rugby and England sensation, James Haskell.
This touchline favorite, who’s the current captain of the London Wasps, isn’t afraid to speak his mind on issues close to his heart, is leading the way in challenging the stereotypes of LGBT people in sport.
With his toenails painted and openness to even tease us gays about almost anything, this sportsman is ready to fight for equality for all; regardless of their sexuality.
“The most important thing is that people have a dialogue with one another,” he tells us.
The 6ft 4in, nearly-18 stone, lean, mean rugby playing machine, also has some tough words for those that question why he’s so open to playing alongside people of any background or sexuality.
“If I was to turn up for work and I wasn’t able to be myself, and I wasn’t able to be comfortable, I just think that’d be terrible, you know?”
Adding: “I’ve never really seen anyone as gay or straight or anything like that. If someone comes to me and says, ‘I’m gay’, or whatever, I just say, ‘And what?’ As long as people play well, I don’t care!” Full story and the magazine cover here!
