Mitch Brown became the first male AFL player to publicly identify as bisexual after a decade with the West Coast Eagles.

He experienced a hypermasculine environment that pressured him to hide his sexuality and personal struggles.

Brown aims to foster a safer, more inclusive space for bisexual and gay players through his public disclosure.

Experts believe his perspective as a recent player could drive meaningful structural changes against discrimination in the league.

I don’t believe that this is about me. It’s not about Mitch Brown being the first at all. It’s about sharing my experience so others can feel seen.
— Mitch Brown, the first openly bisexual player in the AFL, discusses his motivation for sharing his story.
