To me he’s not a gay soccer player. He’s a soccer player who happens to be gay. In my opinion he shouldn’t be defined as just a gay man and that’s it.

You're taking political correctness too far.

Tha day will come, when no one will have to be honored as the first Black actress to win "this award" or the first Jewish student to attend this school or the first gay man who climbed Mount Everest
We're all created equal but we're all created different.
No.2 exactly alike

I mean the things you listed are achievements and don't necessarily differentiate you from another. DNA wise, we as humans are 99.9% the same. That's what makes humans, as a species unique and something we should embrace. That means that no matter your sexual preference, sex, colour, language, accent we are all the same. If you sit and celebrate individual differences then you inevitably end up causing a divide between those who achieve the same and those who do not. Becoming the first of something is about as unique as someone managing to watch a youtube video before the million others who are about to click on the same thing
