Ryswyk, who made history four months ago, shares his personal journey, including never bringing his partner to a presentation night — a detail that highlights the unique pressures LGBTQIA+ athletes face. Though he’s found support and no discrimination since coming out, he’s calling for accountability and kindness, especially after past incidents like fans booing Collingwood’s Isaac Quaynor. Adelaide’s coach Matthew Nicks is also backing the message. Ryswyk believes progress is happening across the sport and is inspired by global fans who’ve reached out, saying he’s honored to be a beacon for young LGBTQIA+ athletes wanting to play football.
