[reece(:]

Everyone on my facebook are morons, all proclaiming Tom Daley is gay and making homophobic jokes... is this what our generation has come to?

[Apple202]

It's mostly ignorance because there's so many uneducated folk where I come from

Ew it bet he dives into a pool of semen and bum etc.

Is that twitter says

[Z]

Not very surprising whatsoever and I hope that he serves as a role model for young people - it's very, very rare for someone at the height of their success and fame to do something as brave as this; I do feel that he is a homosexual man claiming to be bisexual in order to test the waters - but what matters above anything else is that he's taken a very brave decision and he should be commended for that.

[smeagol]

never heard of him and why should we care

[Jarrod]

My Facebook feed hasn't been nasty at all. Mostly supportive.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

tom has made his statement, now he should stay away from twitter for a bit to give the haterz time to calm down and get back to real life.

[Jemal]

Can't really say im shocked.

Why should be stay away? He shouldn't just stay away because of 'haters'. I certainly didn't stay away from my Facebook when I did it, so why should be stay away from his Twitter?

It's not even a case of 'well it might be he's really gay but he's just saying bi for now' either and besides that's a different debate entirely (Christ that annoys me and is so demeaning) but he's said he's bi, so that's what you report...do your ******ing jobs properly and actually watch the video you vacant twats.

Yw jack \o/

Its kinda goto a point were 90% of people dont actually care when you annouce your gay or bi lol.

[reece(:]

These news channels are actually moronic... someone on my facebook

A - "Tom Daley has came out as gay

In other shocking news, water is wet"

B - "i swear he bi ?"

A - "nope gay, its in the news"

News reporters need to do their jobs better.

I knew someone would say that. Because haterz are inevitable. If he's capable of just ignoring the negative comments and not let it affect him, good on him but if not, it's best to stay away for a bit. One person was arrested for commenting on his dad. Unless he wants to police every hater giving himself a break doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Doesn't mean they win.

[Black Dagger]

It's a minority from what I have seen r.e the homophobia.

They aren't intelligent or witty anyway, they are best left ignored.. well done you called somebody a fag xo

Yeah, that's what our generation has come to when a half-century ago homosexuality was illegal.

Homophobia has been with us for as long as homosexuality itself and people these days are a damn-site more tolerant than then.

Good on him but he mentioned that it's not a big deal, if it wasn't a big deal (which it
isn't) then why did you upload a video of it

Because if the press had seen him out with his bf, it'd be all over the papers "Tom Daleys gay" "toms secret boyfriend" blah blah blah

at least this way he can say it on his own terms

[Nemo123]

I always thought he was gay and it wasn't a secret.
So, I'm shocked to see him come out today.

He should have just tweeted it imo

[Nemo123]

Actually I'm a bit cynical. It won't be long before people are saying "Tom Who?". I think this is a publicity stunt. To extend his moment in the spotlight and increase his earning ability. Fro example, he's gone from a maybe to a cert in next year's I'm a celeb. He' jumped the media ***** wagon for ££££££££££££££'s

[Jemal]

But tbfh why the fk should a big deal be made out of this?
Why the hell should he need to make a video and post it worldwide just to say hes now bisexual? Its annoying?

So does that mean i should send out a video also worldwide saying im straight and im happy with being straight?

Tom Daley shouldn't need to do that, he should just be able to carry on with his life without anyone getting into hes business.. Its not that deep.
It's not the 1950s anymore lmao, things like these need to change
