On the eve of his 29th birthday, Australian Cricketer James Faulkner shared a picture with his Mother and 'boyfriend' Rob Jubb on his social media handle. 'Birthday dinner with the boyfriend @robjubbsta and my mother @roslyn_carol_faulkner,' he wrote.
People assumed the Aussie Cricketer disclosed his sexual orientation (being a gay) in that way. Not just the LGBT Community but also fellow cricketers Brett Lee, Glenn Maxwell and Shaun Tait came in support of the All-Rounder. Media offered extensive coverage to the report 'Faulkner Is A Gay'.
Within short time, Faulkner issued a clarification that he isn't a gay by editing the post and placing (best mate!!!) after the word Boyfriend. He explained there was a misunderstanding about his birthday post: 'I am not gay. @robjubbsta is just a great friend'.
The clarification post from James Faulkner has drawn flak. Some people slammed the Cricketer for making a joke out of what is a struggle for many.
