Josh Cavallo slams "sickening" new anti-LGBT law that gives gay people death penalty

Josh Cavallo has hit out at Uganda's "sickening" new Anti-Homosexuality law that has introduced the death penalty for LGBT+ people.

Cavallo is currently the only active openly gay top-flight footballer in the world, having come out in October 2021. The Adelaide United star has since become a leading spokesperson for LGBT+ rights and has been left appalled by Uganda's treatment of LGBT+ people.

The midfielder attended New York City's pride march on Sunday, joining charity The Trevor Project on their float for the parade through the city's streets. Following the celebrations, Cavallo produced a social media post taking aim at Uganda's new law.
