A group of professional footballers, including couples, are planning to come out as gay next month, with top clubs involved in the announcement. This move is seen as potentially groundbreaking and could lead to a positive reaction in the English Premier League. The announcement is scheduled for May 17, a day before the last Bundesliga games in Germany.

I imagine this will be closely watched in Britain. Wider public attitudes have changed very dramatically since Justin Fashanu's day, so when it happens in the EPL, a neutral/positive reaction is a realistic hope. Currently only one male player is out in England's top 4 divisions https://t.co/zIitR0nqL4
