Musical Artist Creates Melodies with Instruments and/or Vocals - Tom Kaulitz expresses remorse for his limited soccer appearances.

Tom Kaulitz, musician and a member of the popular band Tokio Hotel, isn't impressed with the lack of outspoken gay football players. "I can't believe it!" He says in a recent interview with his brother Bill in "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" (FAZ Sat). "It's the same in boxing, tennis and even Formula 1." Tom thinks the sports associations should take responsibility. "They hold a lot of power here," he adds. "And they should use it to make those struggling with their identity feel more comfortable about coming out."

Bill Kaulitz, Tom's brother, also echoes the same sentiment. "I wish athletes would talk more openly about their sexuality," says the 30-year-old. While he understands the reluctance of actors to come out and potentially lose roles, Bill feels differently about athletes. "In sports, it's all about performance and success," he says. "Maybe that can make it easier for them to be open about their identity."
