David Pocock on the language of homophobia

Professional athletes aren't coming out because of homophobia in society. I don't think sports any more homophobic than the wider society in Australia. And I think in many cases it's not overt homophobia, it's the language that people use - the casual put-downs that are homophobic in nature, I think that until we begin to challenge that language and not make it this big deal and stop the 'othering' then we'll see people a bit more comfortable in their own skin.
