This is a video worth watching. Australian athlete Gus Johnston is a thoughtful and articulate hockey goal-keeper who speaks about his coming out process. He’s in a good place these days, but it wasn’t always so. He shares some dark moments, as well.
He posted this 12 minute video on YouTube on September 13, 2011, and wrote: “After many years of competing in hockey at an elite level, I’ve decided to share my story and experience with homophobia in sport. It’s taken me many years to find the strength to share it, but I hope that people find value in hearing it.”
Beside being a goal-keeper, Gus Johnston is a Melbourne-based art director, writer, and film maker.
