I said in an earlier post that it would be interesting to know who his friend is and speculated that it might be an older person. Well, according to an Internet search, the person is Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black who is 39 years old.
Dustin Lance Black won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2008 for iconic gay civil rights film "Milk" that starred Sean Penn.
He is a founding board member of the American Foundation for Equal Rights which has been the forefront of gay marriage in the US.

There is more nastyness over bisexual people than us gays and some gays get pretty nasty over it. He is only 19 with Diving and his school work and A Levels he has only recently had the chance to explore the more personal side, of his personality.
He is being honest, you have to admire him for that.
I suspect though he ended up saying what he did the other day on webcam because some of the tabloids were going to run their usual intrusive stories. As the Sun seems to be a little organised on their front page this morning, to have been following Tom Daley.

Bisexuals tend to seem to get more bad reactions because more people seem to be unable to understand life is about shades of grey and life is not always black and white. I think more bisexuals are scared of coming out more than gay people.

It seems to me that he's using bisexuality as a transitional identity, but I could be wrong.
