Keegan Hirst became the first-ever professional rugby player to come out as gay whilst still playing the game. He sits down with me in this episode of Standing Proud to discuss how he came to the realisation that he was gay, the difficult journey to coming out and how he sought a “gayducation” to catch up and learn about the LGBTQ+ community he now found himself part of. Get ready to laugh, feel inspired and perhaps even shed a tear. The Standing Proud series s funded and produced by YMU to mark Pride season.
