Some Professional Gay GermanFootballersPromise to Come Out This Month
A group of professional footballers from Germany will reportedly come out as gay next month before the final weekend of the season. According to German outlet Preussische Allgemeine Zeitung, the players will collectively come out as gay on May 17. The date is significant as it’s also the International Day Against Homophobia. The move is part of an initiative in Germany in an attempt to encourage players and others working in football to come out. All clubs involved are said to have been made aware of the imminent announcement. However, the report adds that there are still some players who have reservations about coming forward to reveal their homosexuality.
