peasy23 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 How do other sports compare to football (particularly British football) in terms of openly gay participants? I cant imagine there would be stats, because really why would there be, but someone must have a bit of a comparison going? Would be very hard to tell, but the only high profile ones I can think of were Justin Fashanu. Gareth Thomas and two of the UK women's hockey team who are married to each other. I I can only agree with others that the tabloids just want somebody to come out to help sell papers, without giving a shit about any abuse or reaction that the individual would then suffer.

I can't choose to be black or asian. I can't choose if I get cancer etc I reckon I can choose everything else about me. Why are you so convinced you're programmed and not just influenced?

I think most people stay with what they were thinking about when they had their first w**k. Sure, some people are less restricted, but it's not a conscious choice.
