The Marbella goalkeeper announced his homosexuality by celebrating the promotion with a kiss with his boyfriend

Marbella FC’s promotion to the Segundo Federación brought with it a very rare image in Spanish football. One of the footballers of the Andalusian team, its goalkeeper Alberto Lejárraga, published on his social networks a picture of him kissing his boyfriend.

The goalkeeper thus publicly announced his homosexuality, giving normality to a group that still has something to claim in the world of football. “Thank you very much for always being with me, in trouble and trouble. This time we got to live the beauty of this. Thank you,” Lejárraga wrote alongside the picture. After the photo was published, the Marbella goalkeeper received waves of messages of support. The picture, rarely seen in the world of football, only broke taboos.

Little by little, normality in this sense also reaches the field of sports. Josh Cavall’s case was the first. The Australian footballer posted an emotional video on social media in which he admitted that he has always felt the need to hide because he is “ashamed that he will never be able to do what he loves and be gay. Hiding who I really am in order to follow the dream that I always wanted as a child.”

After the case of Cavallo, there was that of the Getafe player, Jakub Jankt. The Czech international became the first LaLiga player to publicly reveal his homosexuality, assuring that he just wants to live his life “in freedom, without fear, without prejudice, without violence and with love”.

Thank you very much for always being by my side, in good times and in bad times! This time we got to live the beauty of this! THANK YOU â ¤ï¸ â ¤ï¸ pic.twitter.com/gwsvZQztDW
