I must admit, my immediate thought was "So what"

Oh god! The Plymouth Herald are really going to make a meal of this one. As if we don't get bombarded enough with what's happening in Tango man's life already. Think yourselves fortunate if you live in another part of the country; you don't get to hear about his life on an almost daily basis. It's all getting a bit too much for us down here.

Why? Maybe because it is a positive sign of the times and a maturing society that a very high profile young sportsman can come out without, it would seem, too much fear of any repercussions. I think this is great for the guy - which I have little doubt will result in a massive surge in his popularity amongst the female half of the population.

Dunno about that Snelly old chap, according to the quote he made sounds like he has a mulit-ride ticket... (Pardon the pun)

Well its good that he can go public with it at least ... good riddence (sp) to the days it had to be kept secret . keeping the secret ruined more lives than being gay ever could ..
There was a hurler over here Donal Og Cusack played with cork, wrote a book ,i think it was called "come what may" got rave reviews a few years back , he tells (seemingly , i havent read it) of telling his team mates & peples reactions etc ..

Why a surprise? He must be to someone's taste.

Not sure why he felt the need for the big public announcement. I always assumed he was gay tbh.

Fair play to him - hope he is happy and glad he feels safe enough it be able to announce it so publicly. Good luck to him

I long for the day when the relationship status of "celebrities" regardless of sexual orientation is not deemed newsworthy. I suppose it does help distract the masses from things they should actually be concerned about though.

He's a well known public figure and as he says in the video he wants to be completely honest about his private life without having his words twisted. And you can do that kind of thing nowadays very easily using social media. May be he wanted to remove as much as he can the stigma of being gay in modern sport as well, be an example for others who want to come out but are too scared.
I hope it wasn't the result of a newspaper threatening to write a story about it, but that would not surprise me. Best of luck to him, he deserves to be happy after what he's been through.
