Despite rainbow aspirations, there are officially no gay footballers in professional German football leagues. In Germany, the topic of homosexual football players is still taboo, but this may soon change, because a mass coming out is in preparation in the Bundesliga: homosexual players of German football can come out at the same time. The revolution of gay football players is said to be supported financially by several Bundesliga clubs, such as the BL semi-finalist Borussia Dortmund or Union Berlin and Freiburg, which also employ Hungarian national team players.
Magyar Nemzet, Sport Bible referring to German sources , writes that May 17 will be the big coming out day in the Bundesliga. According to the plans, the players, coaches, referees and other officials in German professional football will be able to accept their differences en masse at the same time.
The large-scale project, which is supported by several Bundesliga clubs, was launched by Marcus Urban, whose organization has ties to gay players in German football.
May 17 is an offer, an opportunity
– Urban is quoted in the article, who says that intensive communication is currently taking place with the players who would participate in the joint coming out. The group coming out campaign is called Sports Free, and in the coming weeks, an online interface may be created on which those involved can publicly acknowledge their homosexuality.
