High Profile Soccer...Anton Hysen Comes Out As Gay
Anton Hysen,
a 20-year-old professional soccer player in Sweden, came out in an interview with Sweden’s Offside magazine.
Hysen is the son of famed Swedish player Glenn Hysen, a former defender for Liverpool FC and Anton’s current coach at Utsiktens BK of the Swedish second division. Both of his brothers are professional soccer players as well.
"I want to prove that there is no big deal if I’m a footballer and also gay.
If I perform as a footballer, then I do not think it matters if I like men or women."
The magazine interview will hit newsstands March 15 and sure to shake a few things up in Europe. To my knowledge, this is the first and only player to come out in Soccer.
Anton says, "“It’s totally sick when you think about it. It’s so f****d up, everything. Where the hell is everyone else?”
