MELBOURNE, Australia -- Australian cricketer James Faulkner has clarified a vague social media post about his dinner with a “boyfriend” that led to reports that the World Cup star had come out as gay.
The initial message sparked debate over its status as genuine or a hoax. Faulkner, who was voted player of the match in Australia's 2015 World Cup final win over New Zealand, clarified about 14 hours later that there'd been a misunderstanding. He said he wasn't gay, but that it was “fantastic to see the support from and for the LGBT community.”
