This is interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/08/english-football-tolerates-homophobia-john-amaechi-tells-mpsSurely if a Villa player was to be the first high profile pro to come out (while still playing) then we'd overwhelmingly think of that as a cause for celebration. Obviously it's difficult for the individual concerned to become a standard bearer but I think that a positive response to the first one to do it would quickly mean that more would do it?
I dont think it would be that bad,maybe the odd comment,but I dont think there would be any group chants for example.Thankfully I havnt heard any racist stuff since the mid 80s,cant see why homophobia would be any different.
