On a slight tangent, and a genuine question, but are there (or have been) and gay male golfers? I know there are small steps being made in some sports but I can't recall any male golfers "coming out"

I thought there were some female golfers over the years (or again I could be mistaken) that declared they were gay
Tad Fujikawa is the 1st male golfer to openly acknowledge he's a gay man. Not many will remember him though as depsite his early rise in the game he's pretty much dissappeared as a tour player..

Women wise been some famous golfers Patty Sheehan, Rosie Jones and more recently Mel Reid to name but 3.

Edit, Dando just beat me to the Mel Reid comment...
 
There has been some truly terrible comments on this thread about the man's sexuality which in this day and age shouldn't even be something that matters. Its no surprise people both in and out of the public eye find it still so hard to be able in some cases to admit their true feeling's. Its 2020 not 1829, its no wonder the Mods had to get involved.

All of this as already been said (more than once) on this thread. what’s the point in repeating it?

It’s like a competition to see who can be the most PC ?‍♂️
 
Not sure about male golfers but Mel Reid came out as gay last year

Think it was her I was thinking of. I knew there had been a few ladies that had come out. I wonder if in the male game they would be worried about losing sponsors and endorsements by coming out but surely in these more enlightened times (or you'd hope) that shouldn't be an issue surely
 
Yes, because not being homophobic is being “PC”.
By any chance do you find gay people disgusting?
Nope not at all,I have gay friends.

By any chance do you like to bring race into a post about coming out,because you crave attention?

Because that was rather odd when you did that.
