I have been struggling to sleep the past few nights. I'm sure his droning voice can get me to sleep early.

but yay at least you're watching it so i'm not the only one on here :hugesmile: Do you play sports Lucas? For me, a bit part of finding the 'into guys' thing difficult was that I played a lot of sports growing up and was 'one of the lads' but I always felt like I was lying, I dunno. So this documentary is really relatable in that sense to me.

Nah, I have dyspraxia so never really got into playing sport, I like watching tennis and the Olympics but I've never been a massive sports fan.

It's like a learning/social difficulty, means I'm a bit socially awkward and struggle with basic things and I'm clusy and I find sport difficult, used to be **** hot at sprinting though.

Nah, I'm watching live feed :p

Ah I see, sorry LOL, I haven't spoken to you in ages or else I'd have known!

Pretty much the same as me though except I'm generally more attracted to girls than guys, it's all very complicated though I know :p

I can only imagine how difficult this must've been with Gareth and Gemma. One of the hardest things I found with coming out was facing the girls I had dated in the past :(

Raph
17-01-2013, 10:35 PM

You should watch it on +1 if you get the chance, it's a really interesting watch :)

Haha yeah but I only came out this morning but it was so obvious anyway :joker: Well it is on here, because of how I come across, but less so in real life which will make it that much harder.

It is, my mind already hurts from trying to think about it :(

I love the reaction of his friend/teamate - that's how my best friend reacted to with the whole 'so what' thing and it made me so happy. I hope this documentary can inspire some people to come out

I don't think that advice from Gareth's mother is too good tbh - I don't think a parent should approach their child about their sexuality - it's far too stressful and delicate of a topic for the gay person that I just feel like it would be extremely difficult to react to a prompt like that. I think parents need their child to be ready enough to tell them, themselves for the best results.

I really like this interview part with the Dan kid, it's my favorite part so far because it's so relevant - considering his age and position and everything

I really respect Gareth Thomas for making this documentary. It really shows how far he has come and how comfortable he is with it now. Was a great watch.

I don't really like him though tbf, nice guy and all but I wasn't a fan in CBB :p I might watch bits of it on Demand 5 if I get a chance cause some of it sounds interesting from what you've said!

Oh well that's alright then, I was worried you might've been out for months or something and I was being really stupid! :p
