Ian Thorpe Comes Out as Gay

[36605domtop]

@idomeneo:

I am the only gay person I know who believed him when he said he wasn't gay, in fact many of my straight friends also didn't believe him. Does that mean I'm naive?

I didn't believe him, but many of my straight friends did.  I just figured that as an athlete, he didn't want to come out as gay. Too much to lose.  What he didn't realize, is that he was going to lose, no matter what.  I am glad that he is more comfortable with himself now, and open to discussing what he went through privately in a public manner.

@jjcantab:

Could someone post the interview for those of us not based in Australia?

I admire his courage and I respect him for his bravery. He still remains to be my swimming superstar next to michael

First of all I love swimmer guys.
I often watched him on TV, I was sad when he resigned, but now I was happy to see him again, and to know he is gay is a pleasant feeling. There is another handsome gay men But unfortuantelly he is so far away…

OK - I am going to post something that you guys will disagree with: But I don't think he is all that hot. Perhaps because he is neither a twink nor a hunk. Neither muscular nor skinny. Neither butch nor cute in his looks. Neither hung nor a queen. He is fit (of course - he probably does as much cardio in a day as most of us do in a month). He is good looking. But thats about it.

Didnt he deny being gay for years?

Good for him

I hope we see more gay swimmers should follow his step and come out
