Coming Out: 50-Plus Gay Athletes Who Have Broken Boundaries
Nigel Owens
Refereeing is mostly about making decisions, and the former rugby referee Nigel Owens made a pretty good one when he came out as gay in 2007. Like most referees, Owens doesn’t seem to care that much about what people say of him; he never needed to, as the reaction to his announcement was overwhelmingly positive.
One of the most memorable referees in the recent history of the Welsh Rugby Union, Owens keeps busy by working as a TV personality. Viewers can see him in “Munud i Fynd” and “Bwrw’r Bar.”
