The Gay Footballer's Podcast Adam McCabe

Hey guys!

Thanks for joining me and The Gay Footballer's Podcast.

If this is you first time to the podcast, welcome! If you are returning, I appreciate your commitment to the podcast.

The goal of The Gay Footballer's Podcast is to spread the awareness of LGBTQ and ally representation in sports. With the main focus being on football, but also exploring other sports and personalities, each episode will consist of a 30 to 45 minute interview with an individual making an impact in their sporting discipline. Whether a current or former athlete, a member of an organizations front office, or even a sports journalist, each interview will help under cover the challenges, opportunities, and success LGBTQ individuals and allies face in their discipline within sports.

For this weeks episode, Adam had the opportunity to chat with Lucy Clark a football referee from the United Kingdom. Lucy broke world headlines in 2018 as she came out as the first openly transgender referee in the world. We were both apart of the #STRONGERTOGETHER event at Wembley Stadium and both spoke on different panels. Luckily I was able to grab her and her wife for an amazing interview at the conference!
