Josh Cavallo, the first openly gay footballer, proposed to his partner Leighton Morrell at Adelaide United's stadium. The proposal took place at an empty Hindmarsh Stadium, where Cavallo got down on one knee to ask Morrell to marry him. Cavallo shared the special moment on social media, expressing gratitude to Adelaide United for helping set up the surprise.
In his post, Cavallo reflected on the significance of proposing on the pitch where his football journey began, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe space in football for LGBTQ+ individuals. He described the support he received from Adelaide United and the football community as invaluable.
Cavallo's fiancée, Leighton Morrell, is an electrician. Their engagement marks a milestone in Cavallo's journey as an openly gay athlete, inspiring others and contributing to the normalization of diversity in sports.
Cavallo's decision to come out in 2021 received widespread support from major clubs, organizations, and prominent figures in the football world. He hopes that his courage will encourage other LGBTQ+ athletes to embrace their identities and feel accepted in the sporting community.
Despite the progress made in promoting inclusivity, the world of football still faces challenges in fully accepting LGBTQ+ individuals. However, Cavallo remains optimistic about the future and continues to advocate for equality and acceptance in sports.
