TOM DALEY SAYS 'I AM A GAY MAN NOW' AND HIS CURRENT RELATNSHIP IS 'ALL GOOD'

So, whether or not we thought we knew about Tom Daley, I’d like to ask why so many people jumped up and said ‘Tom Daley is GAY. Firstly, if you make any suggtn society that you might like people of the same sex, you’re tomatilly labeled gay. It jt prov how strongly other sexuali are erased, when someone says they also like women, and people are still sayg Daley’s gay.

But potg out that gay people aren’t the only people who fancy people of the same sex is not havg a go at gay people, or tryg to margalise them: ’s tryg to fd a voice for other siled groups. Siarly, the phrase ‘g out’, whout any specifitn as to what or how you have ‘e out’, is ambiguo, and is assumed to mean that you have ‘e out as gay.

’ The phrase is load wh meang before beg ed and associated wh homosexualy.

All those who shouted “Tom Daley out as Gay” didn’t hear, rejected, or assumed he was lyg when he said ‘of urse I still fancy girls. He says that lots of gay people e beg bisexual as a step to soften the blow of g out as gay, therefore lets ‘wa and see’. [Bisexuals are now screamg at the ia that bisexualy is jt a phase, as this ia is often ed agast bisexuals to imply they will end up beg hetero or homo, whereas for many, bisexualy is a life long realy.

However, even though Tom Daley is not bisexual, for the simple reason that he hasn’t said he is, I do thk ’s important regnise that his experience sounds more like bisexualy than homosexualy. There is a simple and quick jump om ‘Daley hasn’t ed the word gay’ to let’s not name his sexualy’ which rerc the ia that bisexualy don’t exist.

To men: ‘No, you’re gay ar’.
