Ryan Russell Comes Out As Bisexual

The 27-year-old NFL free agent made a gutsy decision to come out as bisexual on Thursday, 29 August 2019. In an essay for ESPN, Ryan mentioned his two goals: returning to the NFL and living his life openly. His actual words were,

My truth is that I’m a talented football player, a damn good writer, a loving son, an overbearing brother, a caring friend, a loyal lover, and a bisexual man.

Today, I have two goals: returning to the NFL and living my life openly. I want to live my dream of playing the game I’ve worked my whole life to play, and being open about the person I’ve always been.

He further added,

Those two objectives shouldn’t be in conflict. But judging from the fact that there isn’t a single openly LGBTQ player in the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball or the NHL, brings me pause. I want to change that – for me, for other athletes who share these common goals, and for the generations of LGBTQ athletes who will come next.
