Tennis star Liam Brody supports the LGBTQ community??????
British tennis star Liam Broady demonstrated his LGBTQ allyship at the Australian Open by sporting rainbow laces on the court. ??
The 28-year-old tennis pro, currently ranked 128 in the world, donned the Pride-themed laces earlier (Tuesday 18) during his first-round loss to Australia’s Nick Kyrios at the first Grand Slam event of the year.
Speaking to @thetennispodcast’s Matt Roberts in press following the match, Broady explained that he decided to wear rainbow laces in solidarity with the LGBTQ community and to raise awareness of the fact that there are currently no out gay players on the ATP men’s professional circuit.
“I just kind of wanted to send the support“, said Broady, who made the second round at Wimbledon last year. “I know obviously within men’s tennis – is it a taboo? I don’t think it’s really a taboo, but I’ve seen questions before about why there aren’t any openly gay men on tour, and I just wanted to kind of voice my support in that kind of general area.”
