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.

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

@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.

Sigh. One day, kids, Queerty will have a headline that’s actually related to the story.

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.

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!

@MGangemi: I agree with you. The man has no sense of style and is fugly to boot. Did he shave his head by choice or is he balding anyways?
Jeesh!
Only cute and attractive men should be allowed to represent the gay community!
