Irish hurler comes out

Irish hurling star goalkeeper Donal Óg Cusack, 32, has come out as gay in a new autobiography, becoming the first Gaelic Athletic Association player to do so.

“I get more out of men,” he wrote. “I just do. Always have. I know I am different but just in this way. Whatever you may feel about me or who I am, I’ve always been at peace with it.”

Hurling is an ancient team sport played with sticks and a ball on a field with goals. It is thought to be the world’s fastest-moving field team sport. For a detailed explanation, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurling.
