Lars Fellows on his fascinating football journey as a trans man, ‘I Kissed a Boy’, and the need for queer clubs

‘Footballer’ - that’s what is written in Lars Fellows’ Instagram
bio, along with Pride flags and a kiss emoji for the TV show
that’s changed his life.


Lars is our guest on a special episode of the FvH Podcast. The
first-ever trans contestant on the BBC’s ‘I Kissed a Boy’ shares
his football story in the media for the first time, and it’s an
enthralling tale.


As an Under-18, he played at a high level with a professional
club set-up and could have pursued a career overseas. But there
was a decision to make, one that took him out of football for a
long time. Eventually, he'd rediscover his passion for playing
with an LGBTQ-inclusive club, one that has become very close to
his heart.


Speaking to Jon Holmes from FvH / Sports Media LGBT+, Lars also
looks back on a summer that's made him a famous name in queer
households and has brought him some amazing opportunities, such
as at Pride in London.


He talks about his passion for the club he’s supported since
childhood, and why he’s excited to be a part of Football Pride,
the big FvH summer get-together event happening at The Y Theatre
in Leicester on Friday 29 August 2025 (10am to 5pm).
