– “I hope I’ll be respected: I’m gay,” stated the tweet sent from his account, along with the hashtag “HappySunday,” also in Spanish.
– Casillas had not elaborated on the message, leading some to question its meaning and veracity.
– Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo, who came out last October, criticised Casillas for apparently joking about coming out.
– “Joking and making fun out of coming out in football is disappointing,” Cavallo tweeted.
– “It’s a difficult journey that any LGBTQ+ people have to go through. To see my role models and legends of the game make fun out of coming out and my community is beyond disrespectful.
