Breakfast Wrap: The AFL's first openly gay male footballer speaks out

Former Brisbane Lions player Leigh Ryswyck made the announcement on Joy FM's GayFL program. 

It follows the historic decision by Mitch Brown to come out as the league's first queer male footballer, when he announced last year that he's bisexual.
