Absolutely agree.....all this congratulatory stuff......if you are that way inclined just keep it to yourself and whoever you are with....

I'm sure he'd love to but Philip Schofield is pretty famous in the UK and if he left his wife and got together with a man then it'd be all over the news, he'd have press doorstepping him and his family, it'd be chaos during an already emotionally tough time. He's doing it this way to own and control the conversation.

Sadly, I think we have to recognise that people who are LGBTQ+ will still face prejudice and a good chunk of that will be from people who claim to find the topic boring or redundant or are our current prime minister. Wrestler Cody Rhodes said to his wife (person of colour) that he didn't see race to which she responded then you don't see what I have experienced. You've seen how unkind some of the comments in this thread have been despite surely being read by people in similar position to Schofield.

Its always been difficult to come out, probably even more so when you've got a wife and kids, people don't truly care who's gay and who isn't do they? but it's probably built up for years and got gradually harder.*
Most gay people make an announcement of sorts to family and friends when they come out, it's difficult because "the norm" is for a man to love a woman. So he's only done on TV what others do with people they know, it also stops speculation, if he was to "come out" behind closed doors papers would be ride with rumours etc as it slowly leaked.*
Probably makes it easier for people watching too, who are thinking about coming out

Imagine if Cliff Richard bucked the trend while appearing on Loose Women or similar shite.
"Actually, contrary to decades of speculation, I've only ever been interested in quim and will rodger anything in a frock".
A & Es nationwide would fill with punters nursing dented heads having fainted with shock.

He comes out on telly everyone loves him, Barrymore came out in a gay bar, everyone hated him? ( I know he has since gone on to much controversy, but treated completely differently)

I was only 12 when that happened so can't remember the reaction to Barrymore coming out but I've just had a google and it seems that no one hated him, in fact he was well supported by the public:
Despite the news, Barrymore's popularity didn't wane with the public.
Liddiment added: "The vast majority of the public accepted him for who he was. His audience were way ahead of the tabloids. He was just as authentic to them."
In the first awards ceremony after Barrymore came out, the National Television Awards, he won all three categories he was nominated in, including most popular entertainment presenter.
He insisted he had "no regrets" and paid tribute to his supporters, adding "my fans have been marvellous".
In an emotional acceptance speech, Barrymore said: "I’d like to say it isn’t what happens to you in your life it’s uh, how you deal with it.
"And when you have the support and love of a nation, then no problem apart from death, is unsolvable."

If a 51 year old straight man was having an affair behind his wifes back with an 18 year old female colleague he would be getting pelters, and rightly so. Dirty old bastard.

Re: City superfan Phillip Schofield comes out as gay
Is it certain the lad on twitter was genuine then? What did he say and why did he delete his account?
