Tom Daley in Gay Relationship

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.

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.

Yeah good point :thup:
 
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.

Good post, Don't see why its news to be honest.
 
Why does he feel the need to 'Come Out' ? If its acceptable to be homosexual in this enlightened age then there is no need to make a big splash about it (excuse the pun). Should celebrities have a need to 'Come Out' and say they are 'Heterosexual' ? Also, why do people have a need to congratulate him on his sexual preferences, it's not as if it's doing something special.

Really don't see your problem. You'd prefer all gays to stay in the closet?

I don't have a problem and I never said that. My point was that if being Homosexual is accepted as normal then why make a song and dance about it. There should not be a closet for Gays any more than there is for Hetros.
 
People are congratulating him on being brave enough to reveal it to the public. Its hard enough to do if you are not in the public eye.

There shouldn't be, but there is still an awful of a lot of prejudice about.

It's not though, is it? Definitely improving but it's still a big step for someone, especially in the public eye to come out and be open about who they are. Especially for someone who has already suffered from high levels of homophobia prior to coming out....
 
Good to see that no one has bothered to listen to what he had to say as he has said he is still attracted to women but is in a gay relationship at the moment.
In other words he swings both ways and is having a bit of boy love.
Fair play to the lad but my girls are gutted. :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
I'm coming out publicly to say I am highly attracted to slim women 18-45 with long legs and short skirts that like older men........
there, I've said it, I feel better now :smirk:
 
He is being brave by admitting what exactly? That he is normal!
It shouldn't be news but it is, I guess he chose to do it before he was outed by some of the press. This way he retains control.

If it's not such a big deal, why have no premier league footballers come out?

You will note that my OP title is worded in that it does not say that he is gay - as I have listened to what he has said.
