U.K. Cricket Star's Gay Mag Cover

The issue of Attitude featuring cricket star Jimmy Anderson nearly nude on the cover is available now.

Anderson said in an interview last week he posed for the cover to show his support for gay people and to celebrate the lack of homophobia in cricket.

"'If there are any gay cricketers, they should feel confident enough to come out, because I don't think there is homophobia in cricket," he said. "Football fans can be quite abusive and quite harsh, and cricket fans can be like that sometimes, but they are generally quite placid and there to watch the game and support their team."
