Ian Thorpe has announced to the World he is Gay

he always denied it but its not come as a shock to most people

seemed like a nice boy

Has he got a book coming out?

Did we really need to know

I don't approve of that in the pool

He's certainly a liar.

That's one thing we can be sure of.

And Thorpe, who is 30 today, denied rumours that he is gay, saying he had met someone a few months ago.

He said: “All my sexual experiences have been straight. I’m attracted to women, I love children and aspire to have a family.”

With his nickname he should be careful saying that he loves children

Why does he feel he needs  to tell everybody about his private life for?

Well I too also want to 'come out' and have a formal public announcement to make in statement form and here it is .."Whilst watching internet porn I like to w@nk myself silly"

I feel better  now for sharing this information with you.

Chief Inspector Crippen He's certainly a liar.


Exclusive!Exclusive he said that he wasn`t...and now he says he is. Good work Crippen. How are your own swimming lessons coming on?

Anyone who watched him commentating for the bbc and missed the sexual tension between him and Colin jackson must need a white stick and a Labrador.

Is Clare Balding the only beaver hunter left?

have Tom & Ian ever been in the same pool

pool of what?

blush =

is he related to Jeremy?

It's a bit like Tom Daley and Haitch from Steps making big announcements, they must literally be the last too now, the straightest of people could have told them they were gay.

Ian Thorpe was very good with his Olympic punditry from what I remember as a side point

Why the need for a big announcement and all the publicity? Nobody gives a monkeys.

Why on earth would he think I'm interested? I'm not. For me it is an exit and not an entrance. No negotiation. He can do what he wants but the advertisement is rather gauche.

EO i am sure that your opinion was his guiding factor when admitting to his gayness to Parkinson.

Why on earth would he think I'm interested? Does he not know who you are Larry?

I'm sure he does, as he should, and in the same spirit I would like to announce to the world that I love gash and if anything happens to the wife the nations lovelies can form an orderly queue for a good tongue lashing. And I'll even do it for free.

He says he's spent a lot of time thinking about it. I could've told him years ago from his mannerisms on TV interviews.

I'd imagine his dad Willie downing the brown for all those years had a bearing on this.

I do why can't he be gay in private????
He was an extremely good swimmer and for this was rightly admired

but what sort of achievement is being gay ????????????????????????????
is he expecting another gold medal for this

Some of us so do not want to know peoples private lives

is he expecting another gold medal for this

ebulgery

.... I would have thought a Bronze

flush.......has colin come out yet??

mac

The guy has suffered with depression, probably trying to fight his feelings and not being true to himself, family and friends. Feel sorry for him myself and hope he gets support from those closest to him.

With that serious point out of the way. I had to laugh when Nolan was discussing this the other night and he asked someone " If those in the swimming world would turn their back on him"

if i had size 25 feet i reckon i could swim fast.

I had a girlfriend many years ago who had two young sons. I said 'I think he's a bit effeminate.' about the youngest, who was 6.

She asked why I said it.

'It's just the way he does things. Like if we play cards, we all throw cards on the table, but he carefully picks them out of his hand with thumb and forefinger and places them lightly on the table. He can't throw, catch or kick a ball. He plays with dolls with the girl next door while his brother (who was 7) plays football. In short he doesn't act, talk walk or play like any east London boy that I know.   

We split up after about 3 months, but I saw him in the street now and again as he went home from school. Then they moved away. I saw him in a pub when he was about 19/20. He said 'Hello' and that the bloke with him was 'my friend'.

Eastenders don't have 'friends', they have mates.

Me and my best mate played darts together for 10 years, but we never held hands in a pub.

where did you hold hands then?

First Tom Daley and now Ian Thorpe.

They've know about the effects of Estrogen in the water for ages and yet they do nothing.

REPORTED

it'd be highly amusing if they referred to him as the turd burglar rather than the torpedo, and banned him from swimming.

WALOFS

Oooh, look who turned up to give his usual comment on something that has never happened to him, therefore it can't be true. What a mug.

I'm waiting on Rod Stewart announcing that he is hetrosexual. What a load of nonsense this coming out chyt is. Who cares, keep it to yourself.

Alternatively....

Reduce the fking closet to kindling, by going "This is what I am! Can we please get on with our respective lives"

It's another point of view.

Why? Why do they feel the need to tell the world? Get on with it. In this day and age nobody gives a chyt.

It would appear from the innuendo, s****ing and rumour-mongering that regularly occurs herein and on other social media that people do 'care'.

Otherwise, I completely agree with you.

Betfair asterisks strike again

s-abusive or derogatory term for black individual-ing!

Bito's letters suggesting a naked group hug have been sent to Thorpe and Daley. Registered post of course.

Roger. Coming out will have no effect on Neanderthals. Sexuality should be part of our private lives similar to our political leanings.
I just don't get it, sorry.

I prefer living in a world, where people just suspect, not know myself

fred flintstone was gay. nobody cared, people just sang about it.

MARVELLOUS STIFF GAYYY!

Coming out won't have any effect on Neanderthals but then again only cheaper beer and oven chips are the only things that will.

I don't know the pressures involved in being gay and then being gay and having a public profile where the whispering never ceases. Perhaps he thought it was just a more honest way to live his life.

Maybe he thinks that rational humans with a degree of compassion and empathy might go 'Okay, we now know where you stick it - what are the chances of Michael Jamieson winning gold in Rio 2016?'

dame edna, rolf, ian thorpe. there must be something in the wata down there.

You are not telling me Rolf Harris was gay surely??????????

Also would probably clear him of all charges wouldn't it. So I am sure he have said if he was

Maybe he thinks that rational humans with a degree of compassion and empathy might go 'Okay
that is fair

But unfortunately gays are far too aggressive for my taste nowadays, although not Ian Thorpe
After we passed the law on gay marriage, any compassion and empathy I had for them ceased.

SWIMMIN LA VIDA LOCA

This could officially be the best celebrity pairing of all time…Ian Thorpe and Ricky Martin.

Yep, a source is claiming the new couple have signed a half million dollar magazine deal telling the world they are in love.

Seems like the rumours might be unfounded. You're still in with a chance teddles

Instead of making a big thing about it by announcing their sexual preference to the world, why can't gay people just give subtle hints like mincing about and speaking in a funny voice or something?

For CMAT.

In Stansted airport this morning, a guy came out of a side door and did the gayest, minciest , walk I have ever seen, whilst holding a cup of coffee. I assume he was an air steward.

Has he announced this today? I think he is literally the last person to know, it was obvious 14 years ago when I first heard of him,Tom Daley another who was clearly gay, must be something in the water.
