Tom Daley: So Brave 2

Cynics might suggest that Tom's choice not to firmly position himself one way or another allows him to sugar the pill for his legions of young female fans, who may well be reconsidering the Mrs Daley T-shirts currently on their Christmas lists. The logic goes that, once people have adjusted to him not being 100% straight, it will be a smaller leap should he decide to later come out as gay.

In any case, there is no denying that his decision to out himself as anything other than heterosexual was brave – he didn't have to. And just because some people struggle to grasp the concept of someone feeling love and attraction for more than one sex, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


The Guardian.

If our Tom's not gay, then I'm a fucking horse.
Or I'm fucking a horse.
[Based on an original joke by Dorothy Parker].

PS But you don't understand, this is all about ME!!! says some solipsistic posh twat at the Telegraph.

  2. I'm guessing he's just gay. But it's only because of that knee jerk "OF COURSE, I still fancy girls." -- that phrase seems to be doing a lot of work. But it's merely a flimsy hunch. Unlike you, I wouldn't be so arrogant as to presume KNOWLEDGE. But then your position generally is as blinkered as it is nuts. Have you really never met a fem bisexual man? (Not that Tom is even all that fem.) And I guess an effeminate straight would blow your fucking tiny mind. Unless, that is, he wears outlandish baby doll frocks and can quote Duchamp. Intellectually consistent?
