Dónal Óg Cusack to star in British anti-homophobia video

CORK hurling star Dónal Óg Cusack is to star in a new anti-homophobia campaign being shown in British schools.

The Cloyne goalkeeper, who revealed his homosexuality in 2009, talks about the experience in an interview produced by awareness group Show Racism the Red Card.

The organisation harnesses the profile and status of top sports stars to convey an anti-racism message.

The latest campaign is being applied in British schools with a message focused on homophobia.

In the video, available on YouTube, Dónal talks frankly about coming out to his parents and how supportive they were.
