The world’s only openly gay footballer, Anton Hysen, says others in the closet should not worry about fans’ reactions.
The Swedish star, 20, came out earlier this year, declaring that it was “f**ked up” that no other players had done so.
In an interview with this month’s Attitude magazine, he said it was “normal” for him to be out.
“I really don’t think it’s a big thing,” he said. “I mean, of course it’s brave but why should be it be brave?”
