I'd say that a top level sportsman coming out as gay does in some way make a person 'different' In a positive way. The difference is ramped up because so few sportsman come out as gay. There's still plenty of Homophobia in sport, not just at fan level but in the boardroom as well. Gareth Thomas may well be a bit of a tool, i've never taken any interest in him, but to say that he's not different or unique is wrong in my opinion.
