I don't care, but for every opened minded fan there's going to be a section of idiots who'll revel in the chance to chant the offensive songs and hurl the abuse, as long as there's a chance of that then no player in their right mind will come out.
Imagine having to get it from the opposition as well as you go up for a corner and you marker starts giving it the mouth about close proximity to other men with your arm round them, they would be some Cantona kung fu connotations to that I'd imagine. Most footballers being well, not the most intellectually gifted, I'd also get the impending sense of a team rift, right old Teenage boy stuff like when they go to the shower everyone else jumps out/I'm not sitting next to him and all that.
The only way a gay player could be accepted if at all with opposition teams/fans would be do the absolute business and give 110% week in week out with MOTM displays every time, sadly no one player in the history of the game has ever been that over a career spanning 15 years.
Are there gay footballers - yes. Will any of them come out in the next 10 years - probably not.
How are things going for that Welsh Rugby player who did a runner on his wife and kid and came out? Rugby fans tend to be a politer breed though.
