I'm with Laddo on this 100%, when I read the post saying he's come out for financial gain and he's got a nice career now out of it, it made me sad to think a fellow pies thinks like that. Absolute nonsense. All these people saying he shouldn't have come out, well why not that's who he is and he's proud of it. It must be frustrating to be presumed straight and have to deal with all the questions about girlfriends and who he's sleeping with etc, now he's got it out in the open we all know where he stands and can move on. Good on him and good luck to him.
