German footballer Manuel Neuer, 24, has joined in the call for gay athletes to come out of the closet:
"The 24-year-old told a German celebrity magazine that coming out would lift a great weight from gay players' shoulders, and that fans would soon accept it.
"'Yes, those who are gay should say so. It relieves a burden,' said Manuel Neuer in the magazine Bunte. 'And the fans will get over it quickly. What matters is the performance delivered by the player, not his sexual preference.'"
I love this trend of athletes coming out and standing with the queers lately... uh, if only because I get to post pictures of hot jocks. So sue me!
