Why is this even news? Why does he have to announce it to the whole world? Same situation as Tom Daley for me. Just tell your friends/family.

They shouldn't have to come out and broadcast it if they're gay but shouldn't feel that they have to hide it either.

There's still some narrow minded people out there but I think most of us wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Bat an eyelid? You would if they were behind you while tying your bootlace ..

Don't know what all the fuss is about, I came out as openly hetero***ual years ago, my family and friends just accept me for the person I am.

Its not the done thing now to take the mickey anymore as we all know...not out of gay men, gay women, ginger hair,fat people, thin people,little people, tall people, and any person with an obvious problem...so remember..steve evans is not fat , hes just well built...

You only have to read some of the pathetic posts already appearing on this thread to see why footballers are afraid to disclose their ***uality.

Saw him playing with Ballacks a few years ago! Never saw him tackling Kuntz either

I believe than no-one really has a problem with gay people other than the gay people who mince arround like no other part of the animal kingdom!

Be gay and be proud but don't be something that doesn't exist!

What on Earth does that mean?

I manage a team of care workers and quite a few are gay.

All good lads n lasses who do a great job.

Why wouldn't they?

Ignorance belongs in the past!!

Be proud of whoever you are!!

Lets get back to threads that really matter or mean anything worthy in life.
