We can't get enough of Robbie Rogers. Robbie is the scruffy, doe-eyed pro American soccer player who plays for LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer. Rogers kicked down the closet door in February 2013, making him the second male footballer in Britain to do so after Justin Fashanu in 1990. As a winger and left back for Galaxy, he became the first out gay man to compete in a top American pro sports league, and he's been unapologetically fighting for queer rights ever since. Pride has everything you need to know about the hunky soccer star.
