Ξέρουμε ότι τώρα δεν διαβάζετε το κείμενο, αλλά κοιτάτε τα υπέροχα μπλε μάτια του ποδοσφαιριστή Robbie Rogers, αλλά ήρθε η ώρα να σταματήσετε να τον κοιτάτε και να διαβάσετε λίγα παραπάνω για την είδηση του γάμου του.

As a young boy I dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player and representing my country in front of the world. But as a teenager I grew more and more consumed by fear and shame. And sadly, at some point the scared kid inside me decided that pursuing my dream meant sacrificing a part of myself and hiding my sexuality from the world instead of embracing it. My happiest years as a player are the ones where I could walk through the stadium at the end of games down the tunnel to my partner and son waiting for me at the other end. And my only regret in my eleven year career are the years I spent in the closet. I wish I could have found the courage that so many young individuals have shared with me in the past five years to live honestly and openly as a gay person. These are the young people that inspired me to overcome my fears and return to playing. They’re still the kids that send me letters every week. To those kids, I say thank you. My proudest accomplishment in my career is helping to create a more open sport for you. None of this would have been possible without my teammates and brothers on and off the field, without the LA Galaxy and Bruce Arena who saw me as another player and not a distraction, or without the fans who judged me for my work ethic and my play and not my sexuality. And finally, it couldn’t have been possible without my family, who loved me through all of my ups and downs and always supported my dreams and still do. Lastly to all of the women and men who are still frightened to share their truth with the world, I’d encourage you to come out. By sharing who you are you will not only be improving your own life but inspiring and literally saving the lives of young people across the world. You deserve to take that same walk, down the players tunnel and have your own partner or loved ones waiting for you. Again thank you to everyone who watched or help me follow these dreams. I could never have imagined the happiness I’ll take with me into retirement and into my next chapter.

O Robbie Rogers που είναι μόλις 30 ετών παντρεύτηκε το Σαββατοκύριακο που πέρασε τον παραγωγό του Hollywood Greg Berlanti, με τον οποίο έχουν 15 χρόνια διαφορά. Το ζευγάρι πραγματοποίησε την τελετή στο Malibu της California και όπως μπορείτε να δείτε οι φωτογραφίες του γάμου είναι απλά υπέροχες.

Back to LA today excited for 2016! So much ahead for all of us. ?: @gberlanti A post shared by Robbie Rogers (@robbierogers) on Jan 3, 2016 at 11:37am PST

Το ζευγάρι έχει ήδη ένα παιδί, διατηρεί χρόνια σχέσης και ο γάμος ήταν μια υπέροχη κατάληξη στην επαγγελματία πορεία του ποδοσφαιριστή που μόλις ολοκλήρωσε την καριέρα του ένα μήνα πριν. Τους ευχόμαστε κάθε ευτυχία.

Still recovering from the most emotional beautiful day, exceeding any dream I ever had. To marry the man I love in front of all of my loved one’s was not something I grew up thinking would ever happen. Thank you to the men and women who made this day possible. Also thank you @hanaasano for capturing this picture, convincing Caleb to smile at the camera this long was impressive 😉
