Former Aston Villa footballer, Thomas Hitzlsperger, comes out as gay
1/8/2014 2:02:00 PM
Hitzlsperger, who retired in September 2013 due to a knee injury yesterday told a German newspaper
"I'm coming out about my homosexuality because I want to move the discussion about homosexuality among professional sportspeople forwards. In England, Italy & Germany being a homosexual is no big thing, at least not in the dressing room"
"The awareness of being gay was a long and difficult process. Only in recent years has it dawned on me that I would prefer to live with another man. I've never been ashamed of my sexuality"The first footballer to come out as gay is US footballer Robbie Rogers who had to leave football after coming out. Hitzlsperger was probably wise to wait to retire before revealing this to the world.
