Why does he need to look over his shoulder? Twenty odd years ago fair enough. Not these days. The idiots that are homophobic are hammered in our society these days and rightly so. Will others take comfort from his stance? Any youngsters struggling to come to terms with their sexuality may not take too much comfort from the fact that he actually felt the need to come out as if it is something to be ashamed of.

For me it's black and white. Live and let live. If you are gay,straight,bi or trans I just don't care. Fortunately our young people lead the way in this respect. They just don't care. They don't see sexuality as an issue. My teenage lads would just shrug their shoulders at all of this.
