If there's any outlet that wants to pay a queer journalist to write about what's happened in Aus football in the last 24-48 hours from a queer persons perspective/some sort of op-ed/opinion piece, I'm available and happy to write something for a reasonable rate. Please feel free to reach out via DM.

Disappointing response from the club at best. In the context of a week when they expect us to spend money on pride round merch it comes across as saying "we can't be homophobic look we're selling you rainbows." This is why people don't feel welcome #joshcavallo #justiceforjosh #coyr

It’s taken me a while to digest how my time at Adelaide United ended, but I think the fans deserve honesty. Leaving the club had nothing to do with football. Decisions were made by people in power that blocked my opportunities, not because of my talent, but because of who I choose to love. Under the new management, it became clear that I wasn’t allowed on the pitch because of politics. It’s hard to swallow when I realised my own club was homophobic. I was angry because people thought I was sidelined based on injuries, when in reality, it was internal homophobia that kept me on the bench. I stayed professional, kept my head down, and worked hard every day which I’m proud of. Yet no matter how much I produced or improved, my contributions were continuously ignored. It brought a lot of negativity and affected my wellbeing as a professional footballer. This was exactly the fear I had about coming out, seeing prejudice affect my career in modern day. For the first time, I actually questioned if I should have kept my sexuality a secret. This brought up fears I had about coming out publicly, that being myself would affect my career. I felt incredibly isolated and wondered if I’d made the mistake of sharing my story. I felt things going backwards, not just on the pitch, but in the one place I thought was a safe space and after seeing a group chat of teammates mocking a picture of me and my partner only added to this heartache.This fresh start in the UK has helped me breathe again and I hope I can fall back in love with the sport that means everything to me. Despite the way it ended behind the scenes, I refuse to let it ruin my connection to this city. Adelaide is where I found my wings. To the fans and supporters: thank you for your passion and backing. You deserve honesty and success. You were incredible to play in front of. Thank you. ❤️

I think my new year's resolution needs to be to get better at responding to people who take the time to reply to me on here. Is it weird that I do so haphazardly and after ill defined periods of time? Yes. But rest assured the reason for this is just that I am weird.
