Megan Schutt disappointed with Stoinis, Pattinson's homophobic remarks

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis was fined after directing a homophobic slur at Kane Richardson during a Big Bash League (BBL) game.

Besides, James Pattinson was banned for one match, owing to player abuse during the third Test against New Zealand last year.

"I haven't been attacked for being a lesbian but I know men that have been for being gay," Schutt said.

In her same-sex marriage debate, Schutt also went on to describe the flak she received following her marriage with girlfriend Jess Hollyoake.

She stated, "It was honestly a pretty horrific time, I got called some really nasty things. The usual stuff was go to hell."

"I had people who call you a paedophile or say you're worse than an animal," she added.

West Indian fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was charged by the ICC for his homophobic comments on Joe Root during the 2019 Test series.

However, the England captain's reply was hailed extensively over the social media.

"Don't use it as an insult. There's nothing wrong with being gay," Root's comments were caught by the stump microphone.
