First Spanish gay referee decided to quit

'I cannot stand it anymore' said Jesus Tomillero, the first kind among his colleagues who openly declared his sexual orientation. The 21 year old part time referee and waiter call it a day after last Saturday's game between Portuense and San Fernando Isleno. Mostly arbitrating in the Andalusian regional league, Tomillero is giving up his post after the awarding penalty and verbal abuse from the coaching stuff and the fans. He is gaining support to continue his job from acting prime minister Mariano Rajoy and Podemos party but his decision is final. He has no support whatsoever from the local organization who pays him.
Tomillero started refereeing amateur football games from 11 years old.
