An ice hockey player tells Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Surrey about the "scary" moment he announced his bisexuality.

Manchester Storm's Zach Sullivan, from Redhill, Surrey, is believed to be the first professional ice hockey player to come out.

Mr Sullivan, 25, says he wants to help younger players feel comfortable with their sexuality too.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Surrey also speaks to out-gay first team football manager Luke Tuffs of Knaphill FC and to Di Cunningham, organiser of Proud Canaries, an LGBT+ football fan group at Norwich City.
