Jake Daniels the first openly gay U.K. professional Footballer since 1990
17-year-old Jake Daniels is the first active U.K. professional footballer to come out as gay since 1990
Daniels plays for Blackpool Football Club in England and has publicly come out as gay, making him the first to do so in decades.
In a special report by Sky Sports News, Daniels says he knew he was gay from a young age but worried that football and his identity didn’t mix.
In a moment of great importance and player pride, Daniels confided in his teammates and publicly spoke of his identity, at the start of his career.
Daniels made his senior debut for the club just weeks ago but says he is ready to be himself and inspire others in the game.
Daniels says “the time is right to be myself, be free and be confident…Now is the time to do it…I feel like I am ready to tell people my story. I want people to know the real me.”
“I’ve known my whole life that I’m gay, and I now feel that I’m ready to come out and be myself.
In reaching this point, I’ve had some of the best support and advice from my family, my Club, my agent and Stonewall, who have all been incredibly pro-active in putting my interests and welfare first.
I have also confided in my team-mates in the youth team here at Blackpool, and they too have embraced the news and supported my decision to open up and tell people.” “I’ve hated lying my whole life and feeling the need to change to fit in. I want to be a role model myself by doing this.”
Jake daniels statement
Daniels is a well-respected and talented player for the English club, who scored 30 goals for Blackpool’s youth team this season.
“Blackpool Football Club has worked closely with Stonewall and the relevant footballing organisations to support Jake and is incredibly proud that he has reached a stage where he is empowered to express himself both on-and-off the pitch.”

U.S. pushes Ukraine toward controversial peace plan with Russia
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.
As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.
The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.
Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.
Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
