Five famous sports personalities who have come out

Steven Davies (Cricket)

The 27-year-old Englishman Steven Davies became the first and till date the only cricketer to come out as openly gay, when he announced it an interview with the The Daily Telegraph in February 2011. In the aforementioned interview, he admitted that his teammates already knew and there wasn’t any hoopla surrounding his announcement. The England wicketkeeper has made quite a name for himself in the domestic cricketing circuit, which earned him an England call up in October 2009. Although he couldn’t stake his claim for a place in the national side, he has continued to have a successful first class career.
