Gay groups hail Cusack’s courage in coming out

CORK legend Dónal Óg Cusack’s decision to come out has been hailed by gay support groups as courageous and hugely positive for young gay men, particularly those involved in sport.

The GAA star revealed his sexual orientation in his autobiography, Come What May.

“It’s very brave of Dónal Óg to come out,” said Michael Barron of gay, lesbian and bisexual support group BeLonG.
