Darcy Vescio has an announcement

[Lods]

Not entirely true. I made a thread about Ellen/Elliot Page when that occured. Big enough names, get mentioned.

But yes, this specific one was because its a carlton player.

Same would occur when the first mens player actually comes out of the closet publicly. I suspect we all know someone who is gay and its not entirely big news....unless its the 'first'.

Think about it though.
Darcy only has prominence because she is a very good AFLW player.
That's her  claim to fame.
Without that it's like you or I came out as binary folks.
It wouldn't rate a mention.
