German second division club St Pauli will fly the rainbow flag, symbolizing gay pride, permanently at their Hamburg stadium, the club announced on Thursday.
Dirk Bruellau of the club’s gay and lesbian fan club Queerpass Sankt Pauli, backed the move and said it would now be a “quantum leap for the football world” if one of the 18 clubs in Germany’s top-flight Bundesliga followed suit.
Homosexuality in German football has been a topic since chancellor Angela Merkel told gay footballers last September they should have no fear of revealing their sexuality.
The German Football Federation (DFB) has plans to advise clubs on how to handle the anticipated media interest and reaction from fans if a player came out.
What’s this world turning into?
Let’s know your view please…
