Now that Mickey Rourke (minus two teeth) is going to make him a household name, Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas is making the American rounds. He tells Ellen DeGeneres today that after coming out to his coach, his coach shared the news with the rest of the team, and everyone gave each other platonic man hugs.
@christopher di spirito: You probably think you’re witty. You’re not though.

@j: I’ll have to watch for your posts and see what you contribute. My guess is, it’s very little.
·
At least J can use punctuation properly! You on the other hand are just offensive.

@christopher di spirito:
I’m fairly certain that Ellen isn’t built like a rugby player. I do have problems with my eyes, though, so you really can’t trust my perception of things.
@RomanHans:
Maybe one day it will happen. Clearly, today is not that day. I really don’t even understand how they came up with this title. The article mentions NOTHING about anyone coming out to the guy. It only talks about him coming out to his coach and the rest of the team…
·
Actually Gareth mentioned in the interview that closeted gay athletes have been coming out to him so it’s relevant to the actual interview (if not the article written here)
·
Could we not bicker and instead revel in the wonder of a powerful story? Please?
·
This man and millions more like him are not
well served by the “queer” concept of LGBT,
which implies that he is something other
than a man and is somehow inherently in
conflict with his gender.

OH thats depressing! You’d think they could have found a better actor, and ond not quite so fugly to play such an icon.

*sighs* They ~so~ need a delete button here for our own comments.

I fail to see how they can justify making a film about this guys life. It’s nothing new.
“Gay guy, in denial, marries woman to try and live a ‘normal’ life, doesn’t work out, divorces, comes out”!
Yes it’s a tough thing to go through, but it isn’t that unusual.
Have I missed something?

@jackieohboy: From someone with a handle “jackieohboy?” Jackie, oh gurl!

sadly, not every parent is like that. good on him though.

Which one is Ellen? The one on the left or the one on the right?
