It’s so wonderfully natural!
Now the midfield ace of the German World Cup soccer team, Lena Oberdorf (21), is openly showing her love. to a woman. On Instagram, she repeatedly posted pictures with her Kimberly (26). Also from the holiday together on the Mediterranean. The two have been a couple for a few months. “Obi” confirms BILD: “Yes, I’m very happy privately.” In the English Guardian, the woman from Wolfsburg says: “I didn’t come out and say: ‘Guys, I have a girlfriend.’ She’s on my social media sometimes, so people can think what they want.”

Oberdorf finds it a shame that it is not just as natural for male footballers to love men and be open to them. “I wish that every gay footballer could come out and be accepted by everyone. Society makes it really difficult for men,” she says. While dealing with homosexuality in women’s football is “open and tolerant”, this is not the case with men. “I don’t know if it’s gender or environment,” says Obi.

“I wish that every gay footballer could come out”
At the World Championships training camp in Australia, striker Lea Schüller (25) also spoke openly about her partnership with top Austrian sailor Lara Vadlau (29). “It’s not a taboo subject for us, it’s completely normal. Maybe it’s because it’s a cliché in women’s football anyway,” says Schüller. “I don’t care what other people think.” But she also noted: “It’s different with men. Maybe because they are even more in the public eye.”

In addition to Oberdorf and Schüller, other German World Cup stars will also appear with their friends. Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger (32) is with England international Jess Carter (25). Defender Sara Doorsoun (31) separated from “Princess Charming” winner Lou Schaaf in November and speaks openly about it in the DFB documentary “Born for This”: “It hurt, I wasn’t feeling well.”

Germany’s winger Svenja Huth (32) even appeared in the film with her pregnant wife Laura. They spoke openly about artificial insemination – and campaigned for new laws in Germany. In the ROPA method, eggs were removed from Svenja in Valencia and used by Laura. Biologically, there is no doubt that they are both mothers of their son. “In Spain we would both be legally considered mothers. That’s not the case in Germany,” criticizes Laura. “It makes us sad that Svenja has to adopt her own child.”

And this is an unpleasant process. “It’s humiliating because the mother has to strip down to her panties, do a drug test and present an extended certificate of good conduct,” says Svenja. Her Laura demands: “More desired child than with us is not possible. One wishes for more equality.”
