I think there is a certain element of ambition in all of this, perhaps more so than "coming to terms"

yes its bad that coming out may have damaged his career but pretending that its not naked greed/ambition is not ideal?

Also he's the one that's made it dominate news with the theatrics . Yet others think we're making it into a big deal :rolleyes: .

I've seen YouTube comments saying it's 2020 why doesn't he just get on with it without the tears .

And others said it would of been braver if he came out years ago .

Exactly that's why some of us are confused :facepalm:

Holly was interviewing him like his family had just been murdered

Nobody else is as confused as you though? Like you seem to be completely incapable of understanding it whatsoever.
He’s gay, he’s come out, he’s discussed it with his family. Nothing that complicated really.

Why are people so bothered about this. Trying to discredit him or scrutinise his decision isn’t going to change it or take it back, just let him get on with his business.

FFS :facepalm: why the theatrics

its a discussion forum, we are discussing it, every news media is doing the same. No one is that bothered but to pretend this isnt news would be baffling

Because believe it or not, coming out is still a terrifying thing to do for people

...(...it felt as though Holly was close to tears a few times, her voice was so emotional...she seemed just so full of thoughts for him and how he would have been feeling...)...Holly seems an amazing friend...:love:..

Well that's a bit of heat off Harry & Meghan for now at least :hee:

and yet he was so terrified he did it on live TV?

:conf:

You genuinely don’t know what coming out can actually do to people’s mental health do you?

Thank god we have TIBB to educate us on the matter.

Holly cries when it rains outside or when there's no more cupcakes for her to scoff :notimpressed: .

What happens when he's highlighting his business on National television to all the viewers watching? It's then no longer just his business, he's now making everybody else's business.

Not really.

He did it somewhere comfortable he’s called home for near 20 years, with his best friend, it makes perfect sense

Okay then people should leave Harry & Meghan alone then . And stop whining about them :hee:

When you're in the public eye and announce something out the blue like this , it becomes front page & everyone talks about it. Which Philip knew .

Yes, you’re right. The private life of a breakfast tv presenter is exactly the same as the royal family. Although yes, people really should start whinging about Harry and his wife too.

Its not the 1940s. His family and Stephs family were instantly accepting according to himself, the rest of the world doesn’t matter

If it was his private life, my advice to him would be, to keep it private. It makes sense.

I just hope it’s not all regurgitated again on DOI :hmph: we know now, lets move it along

But they are both victims of homophobia, hence why it has taken so long for him to be able to do this. This thread alone shows that ignorance does still exist as much as it did decades ago. It’s really sad tbh.

Eh???! :conf: , I didn't say it was right how Harry & Meghan got pestered especially the hate Meghan got .

But Philip is also in the limelight and he came out on TV and on social media. He knew it would dominate news :idc:

Ignorance will always exist. Because everyone of us is ignorant to something at some point.
