Johnathan Tsirlis – Comes out of the closest as gay and hits on coworker at TD bank. Last autumn, in the middle of the soccer season, Jonthathan Tsirlis just couldn’t hold back who he was anymore. The TD empolyee from Toronto, had known he was bisexual for much of his life. He’d told some people back home, including his family, but more and more he felt he had to tell his whole family and friends.
Jonathan Tsirlis said, “I’ve been pretty surprised to have zero negative reactions, ” in a phone call Sunday afternoon. “A lot of people do get negative reactions when they come out, and that’s one thing I’m very fortunate about. My family is very open and loving and supporting, and my teammates are very open.”
Jonathan Tsirlis said, “We know these are topics that are not really brought up in sports, because there’s this idea that you just play a sport. But the athletes are more than just athletes.”
