Its been known world wide that Gareth Thomas is gay, he has even done TV interviews in the states on some pretty popular shows.

It's really great that a professional sportsman can come out like this, while he's still playing. I wonder if it would be possible in any other team sport than rugby, certainly not in soccer, and I doubt it in baseball, football, basketball. Maybe some of our US posters could comment.
There is a referee who's come out too, Nigel Owens, and apart from banter about bent refs, has been well accepted.
I post on a rugby forum as well, and any homophobic comments are well stamped on.

I know theres a gay u.s basketball player.

B&A
I made the whole post a little tongue in cheek, rather than sarcastic, and I'm sorry you took it that way. I said bravo for coming out too, and made a point of it. See my later post too.
Actually I like the smooth boyish look too, which is why I proposed the twink thread which someone took up.
I made the point that rugby is one of the few team sports which would permit a gay man to come out like this.
I lived for 30 years as an openly gay man so don't tell me about prejudice, I had enough of it, both in the companies I worked for and in the streets too.
I'm sorry you reacted the way you did.

No, I really don't feel like that. If I've upset someone I'd like to resolve the issue. I'm just saying that I've had plenty of discrimination, that's all.
