Parmy, could you just not....:hehe:

He's been gay all of five minutes and already you're already painting him a victim. .. Also I don't know what forum you're on but reading this thread there's nothing but support for him, his wife and his kids :/

:joker:

Yes, he made it all about him, there is a couple in this coming out

Maybe his wife insisted on the confession?...

Maybe ..!

This.

Maybe he spent to long in make up.

Its the coat he wore in Josephs amazing technicoloured dreamcoat musical that has turned him. Xx

I closed my eyes drew the curtains to see for certain any dick will do.

I think that’s how the song goes.

I didn’t like him when he was straight I still don’t like him now he is gay.

If his wife married him truly believing he was straight and he had doubts about his sexuality and just went through the motions then he is a nasty excuse of a man.

Does it take 57 years to find out you are gay?

I hardly belive he went through the motions for 27 years fgs.

And no, it doesn't take 57 years to find out that you are gay. But for some, and in this instance, Philip, it takes that length of time to feel comfortable enough with your sexuality that you no longer feel the need to hide it.


How is that so difficult to understand?

Tbf to him, no he didn't.

Fair play to him for actually acknowledging that whilst a burden has been lifted in him coming out and being honest, there's still a family that is hurting.

Well, it would be a bit strange if you suddenly liked him just because he said he was gay.

Well i think he's a total turd ! blackmail in background ? cos why would he come out after lying like **** for so many years ~ bastard

Bit strange. You've made a lot of assumptions there about something none of us know.

My mum phoned me to tell me about this (yeah weird) and honestly my first thought was "what, he never came out before" because i honestly thought he was already out, had no idea he was married to a woman and has children. But anyway yeah good luck to him.

Very, he is not the first gay to come out, but he has lived as a straight man for 57 years. like many have said being gay is not a choice it’s who you are.

Plus being gay does not automatically make you a nice person plenty of cases of gay men with wives and families shagging men in secret.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here?

There's no suggestion he's done that. There's plenty of straight men married with kids who shag other women in secret. Not sure why the assumption he's leading a dirty double life just because he's gay. :shrug:

Its worth remembering that its only in the past 20 or so years that being gay has been so widely accepted, so people of Phillip's generation were more inclined to supress these feelings and keep it secret.

I believe him coming out is because he has met some one and that’s why he has come out now if not he would still be wanking to gay porn.

Graham Norton rylan Clark Julian clary Eddie izzard and many more all successful gay tv personalities being gay is not a dirty word.

No ~ no assumption at all ~ but why now ?

Wife said she had her suspicions when he said can I call you Dave.

He disgusts me ! my daughter is gay so don't start !
