The world of gay has been literally sent spinning off its axis by the news that David Beckham is retiring from the professional footyball, Fagburn can reveal.
The former England soccerball captain is one of only two footballers gay men can name, even though they have no idea who he plays for now.
Pink Star News has called him the biggest "gay icon" since Margaret
Thatcher.
Asked what accounted for David's gay icon-ness, editor Quentin Smithers told Fagburn; "Not sure really, we say it about anyone - Sonia, Christopher Biggins, Rylan Clark..."
Leading gay commentator, Patrick Smugtwit, has tweeted; "But is Becks a secret gay who will now come out like Robbie Rogers? #sobrave".
The 38 year-old "metrosexual" is perhaps best known to The Gays for marrying Posh Spice, and selling overpriced underpants by being photographed in a pair of said knickers with a sock shoved down the front.
Dave in Accounts says there was also an incident involving "a sarong".
