G STAR RAM Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Am I the only person who thought he was gay anyway? Am much more shocked to find out that he is married with kids. Another high profile figure to take the big step, but still no sign of any footballers coming out. I've never really considered homophobic abuse as much of a problem but the fact that other sportsmen, pop stars, actors, comedians, politicians etc are now all openly coming out but footballers still arent would seem to indicate that I am way off the mark!

Gone Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Does anybody actually really care he’s gay, does it really matter these days if people are gay or not, it’s just everyday life isn’t it. I don’t understand all the fuss and it certainly isn’t news worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjam Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Never really gave it much thought tbh. What people do in the privacy of their own homes is up to them, don't get this need to 'come out' and tell everyone. Kinda feel sorry for his wife (and kids) though, its all being played out in public. Everyone is saying how brave he is but she must be distaught - if for no other reason than (assuming shes the same age as him) shes approaching 60 and rather than looking forwards to spending her pensionable years with the bloke shes been maried to for 25+ years, she's looking at a divorce.

I heard that his wife has known for years. It's not quite a Rebekah Brooks/Grant Mitchell thing (can't remember the actors name that played grant Mitchell). That was a couple of instances of in flagrante delicto and out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Weirdly, we were watching the tv ages ago and I had a disagreement with my missus cos I thought he was totally 'out' and happy with everyone knowing. So I thought she was confused when she said that he was married with kids. She couldn't even see why I would even think it. I conceded obviously I was confused and thinking of someone else.

Elton John was married for a while. it's an attempt to conform and perhaps believe that they can "submerge" their true feelings. Very sad if anyone has been upset. His wife has allegedly known for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
