GAY RUGBY PLAYER HAS A COMING OUT PARTY

Gay Irish rugby player Gareth Thomas came out of the closet a while ago, but now it's official! He is starting to entertain!!!! The big, beefy, bear was formerly married and the first rugby player to come out publicly in Great Britain. At a party on Thursday at a glitzy club in London Thomas hosted many celebrities including Will Young and Graham Norton, and also many of his teammates and supporters, at the coming out party. Gareth announced, "Everybody here tonight is celebrating that the world is changing. We are here to send the message that it's OK to be a sportsman and it is also OK to be gay." Nice! It's so great to see a big, burly sportsman like Thomas come out publicly. It gives a new face and understanding to people who thought they knew what gay was. British gay activist Peter Tatchell added, "If more top-class professional sportspeople came out as Gareth has done they would win huge amounts of public respect for their honesty and courage. It would boost their public standing and provide a very powerful and positive role model for young lesbian, gay and bisexual people who are coming to terms with their sexuality for the first time." Thomas has started campaigning for gay rights based on the overwhelmingly positive reaction he has received from the public. Go big gay beefy rugby player. Go! [source]
