Coronation Street Spoilers indicate that James Bailey has struggled with a number of roadblocks since coming out as gay in Coronation Street. The first one was the reaction from his father, as he argued with James’ boyfriend surrounding his revelation. James admitted to his father that he knew he was gay from an early age, and his reaction was further proof as to why James didn’t tell his father earlier.
However, the young footballer is set to have a massive shock next week, when his sexuality is posted all over social media by his ex-boyfriend, and it could have a damaging effect of his football career. But, will James get the support that he deserves for being the first openly gay black football player.

James has been forced to keep his sexuality a secret from the wider world, due to the backlash he would likely receive from people attending football matches. He admitted that he felt relief after coming out to his mother and Michael, but this could be a devastating setback to his confidence.
Ed’s reaction to his son coming out as gay was precisely what James was expecting from those on the terraces. But, could Danny’s post on social media actually act as a springboard to bring the father and son closer together again?
