Thomas Hitzlsperger Comes Out

Thomas Hitzlsperger retired from professional football in Germany last September and has decided to come out because he hopes to further the debate about homosexuality among sports professionals.  I'm sure the timing isn't coincidental with the Olympics in Sochi less than a month away.
Only in the last few years have I realized that I preferred living together with a man. I was never ashamed of being who I am but it was not always easy to sit on a table with 20 young men and listen to jokes about gays.
