As long as the Gay People have the skill set and ability to perform at a high level there is absolutely no reason why a gay person should not play football.
So far, there have been a dozen gay players in College Football and the NFL who have come out of the closet after their playing careers are over and one active college player, Michael Sam, who is poised to be drafted into the NFL in 2014.
The people who have come out of the closet are:
Wade Davis NFL Defensive back
Ed Gallagher NCAA Division I Offensive tackle
Alan Gendreau NCAA Division I Placekicker (All-Time Leading Scorer in Sun-Belt Conference)
Kwame Harris NFL Offensive tackle
David Kopay NFL Running back
Ray McDonald NFL Running back
Conner Mertens NCAA Division III Placekicker
Michael Sam NCAA Division I Defensive end, (2013 First Team A SEC, 2013 Consensus All American, 2013 Co-SEC Defensive Player of the Year)

Brian Sims NCAA Division II Defensive tackle
Jerry Smith* NFL Tight end (2X Pro-Bowler, named one of the 80 greatest Redskins, part of the Redskins Ring of Fame)
Esera Tuaolo NFL Defensive tackle

Because loads of gay people play it.
Like any section of the population, some do and some don't.
Yes, gay men and women watch as well as play football. Sydney Rangers FC is a gay football club in Sydney, and The Flying Bats Women's Football Club in Sydney is the biggest lesbian football club in the world.
Gay people have their own interests and should not force them on others.
The real answer is that gay people should be allowed to do anything in public that straight people are allowed. If straight people kiss in public, gay people should also.
well, gay people are still around so your question should be- what ARE gay people, and gay people are people who like people of the same gender.
No, there should not be a death penalty for gay people. Unfortunately, as of 2017, there are 10 countries that put people to death for being gay.
All law-abiding people should be allowed in Australia, gay or straight.
They should not, and they are not.
No gay people arent normal and should be treated like animals!
gay people already are normal people. So there is nothing to worry about.
Since gay people exist, they should definitely be tolerated. There is no reason for intolerance toward people just because of their nature.
