Default Welsh Rugby hero Gareth Thomas: "Now it's time to tell the world the truth - I'm gay"

Quote:
He told his wife, Jemma, that he was gay and admitted cheating on her with male partners.

Thomas, who plays for Cardiff Blues, said he felt like his life was "falling apart" as his four-year marriage broke down.

The star recounted to the paper how he cried in the changing rooms of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, after representing Wales in November 2006.

He later came out to coach Scott Johnson, who advised he speak to a few of his international colleagues for support.

Thomas said: "He told two of my team-mates, Stephen Jones and Martyn Williams, and as I sat in the bar waiting for them, I was absolutely terrified, wondering what they were going to say.

"But they came in, patted me on the back and said: 'We don't care. Why didn't you tell us before?'

"Two of my best mates in rugby didn't even blink an eyelid."

The Welsh Rugby Union and the Cardiff Blues backed Thomas after his decision to come out.

Roger Lewis, WRU group chief executive, said "it would be remiss of the WRU not to remind him of the high esteem in which he is held in the game in Wales at a time when he has decided to bring such personal reflections to public notice".

This shocked me but I'm glad he's open about it. Especially being openly gay with a sport like Rugby. Legend.
Thoughts?

Edit: I know it's old but I didn't see a thread on it.
