That's good of the Sun to run with his interview considering they were one of the papers that shat on him, who'd have thought eh.

Said it earlier, pretty obvious that him and the other guy were in a relationship which has gone bad and his ex has gone to the papers, must have been some fallout to fuck the guy's career over it though.

Setting himself up for doing I'm a Celebrity and other 'celeb' reality TV shows over the next year or two.

Have sympathy for me, change public perception and then have an almighty redemption arc by winning in the jungle.

I didn't click the link, nor watch the video as it was the sun.

But the headline was about him coming out as gay, and the thumbnail photo was a picture of him crying.

Doesn't really sit well with me that. Kinda like it's portraying coming out as gay as depressing.

Some few months for him like.
Not entirely sure what his sexuality has to do with anything to be honest. Are they somehow trying to insinuate that because he just happens to be homosexual that is what made him make the statements that he did? In the grand scheme of things, does his sexuality matter? Just not entirely sure what they are trying to achieve with this, apart from a sensationalist headline to get a few more knuckle daggers to buy a paper.

I guess it isnt to explain the stuff he said about liverpool/klopp etc

Its to explain the coke use?

Which is actually understandable. Self hate, insecurity, hiding his true self, being part of a toxic environment...im not surprised he turned to drugs to manage all that.

Not sure anyone's insinuating anything tbf. Obviously that rag is abhorrent but he's just been through an awful lot and probably wants to take back a bit of control rather than having something else turn up in the press about him, especially if this has all came about because of a bitter ex.

Also, Klopp is a cunt. That's an objective statement. The man is absolutely awful.

I'm thinking, so what if.one of the tabloid rags throws a story out saying that he's gay. Does anybody really care? Is it such a big deal?

Of course it fucking is!

Christ I'm fed up of straight people thinking no one cares anymore blah blah.

Gay people get beaten and murdered and abused every single day.

It wasn't intended to belittle the fact that homophobia still exists. Unfortunately, it does. Maybe my previous comment wasn't quite worded correctly. What I mean is why is it anybody else's business whether he's gay or straight?

It's important to talk about because people assume someone is straight unless they hear otherwise.

And so queer people have to come out...

Maybe it isn't anybodies business, but it's an explanation. It is a chance for him to explain the situation and it does give nuance to the situation.

I disagree completely that he did this via The Sun. That is grim.

But he was probably told they would post that he is gay etc and said if he does an exclusive he can take ownership of his coming out.

It's sad but it's the reality for so many people.
