Swedish footballer Hysen 'comes out'. More to follow?

[heatmeiser]

Swedish footballer Anton Hysen says he has had a "very positive" response from Utsiktens BK team-mates after coming out as gay, and he has received the full support of his father, former RS defender Glenn Hysen.

Interview with him here.

Just wondering if it will prompt other - higher profile - players to follow suit.

Of course... we could out them all ourselves....

Must say I don't get all this coming out business. Who really cares? If you want to shag birds, cool. If you want to bum blokes, go right ahead. Why the big song and dance?

 

[heatmeiser]

I think it's about positive role models and other young people not feeling like they have to hide who they are or pretend to be someone else.

Which unfortunately, many still do.
