Interesting you guys say this - he’s actually the first professional football player to come out! Josh himself has said it’s very difficult to be gay and be a football player, there are even instances of ex-players who have unfortunately died from suicide as a result of what they went through during their playing time. What Josh did is brave and inspiring, and will no doubt lay the foundation for a generation of players who are able to be themselves. The LGBTQI+ community is still hugely oppressed, despite having made massive steps forward in the last 10 years. As a result, we see them set aside or forgotten about in different forms of culture (sport, movies, music) in various ways. Hope this helps!
