    When footballers with a career ahead of them start coming out it would mean more and signal real progress.

    Good for him. It'll be a good day for society when people coming out is a non story.

    It's weird that a sport like rugby accepted Gareth Thomas, yet people are afraid in football for some reason . Can only think it more down to how fans and media would react .

    Why do people need to "come out"?

    Why can't they just go on dates etc and people find out that way?

    I know there is still some lingering bigotry floating about but a straight person wouldn't say "hey by the way, I'm hetero" they would just be spotted out with a lassie.

    Good on the guy but I never understand why there has to be a fanfare when someone is coming out.

    it is sad that in football that gay players can't be comfortable enough to come out while playing.

    Good on Hitzlsperger for showing enough courage to come out and hope this can give others the help and courage needed.

    Well said. It really shouldnt be news that someone is comfortable with their sexuality. Still, fair play to him. Had to wait until he retired though.
