Phillip Schofield comes out as gay (BBC)

The delight of my fellow gays to Phillip Schofield’s coming out and the rag tag tawdry opinions that followed congratulating him. Fellas, this is nothing special..this is 2020 where we should not have to come out.
Married men are ten a penny in the gay world (I know I’ve had them and banged their brains out but stopped years ago as my moral compass pricked my conscience).
Philip’s wife is who I feel sorry for…this is a woman at his side for 27 years and no amount of tearful ‘coming out’ to the cameras changes that.
A friend this morning told me he came out at 12 years of age in the 90s, during the AIDS crisis..that’s brave..not some pampered celeb
I knew it!!!!
Robbie Williams next.
I suspect leo varadkar
Or the second best footballer in the world.
virgil van dijk?
it’s a gay name when you think of it
I’d let him put the tip in, to be fair.
I’d say virgil goes in full, hard and committed or not at all – best not know what’s coming
The first 2 inches are in your head.
Philip Schofield just became straight again.
Dude; he was the last to know.
Sounds like he has a lot of support from his family. Best of luck to him but this is really a personal thing for this man, there must have been a threat of a salacious tabloid story that’s been headed off by this announcement.
Sure, what of it? Best of luck to him.
He did it live on telly! With his supposed arch-nemesis Ruth Langsford beside him.
Does this explain all the reported in-fighting on the show recently?
I could have told him that
Good luck to all.
British TV stars – their lives are so much in the public realm. I guess he can’t just go and live his life as a gay man in private because the tabloids would hound him. Anyway, good luck to him.

God yeah, them as well. The media is full of their houses and wags. I would hate to be famous in Britain. Tough enough here.
Jeez, it must be hard being an Irish celebrity.
Mattress Mick must dread leaving his mansion in the morning …
Mick is well-cushioned with security officers. (Or ‘Mattress’ as Pat Kenny calls him).
To be frankly honest I couldnt care…why is it news? Married men that are gay are ten a penny including a lot in TV…
Because there are many backwoods knuckle draggers who do not share your opinion on these matters. That’s why so few footballers are willing to be open about their sexuality. Presumably the tabloid media that panders to these same backwoods knuckle draggers decided it was time to have a go at another celebrity and he wanted to get his say in first.
Maybe he was going to be outed by the press anyway and the only thing he was really choosing was to out himself first.
Could have been worse and come out as an FG voter…
He is a Tory.
Explains a lot, tbf
As the saying goes
Better out than in
Good luck to him, his family, friends and colleagues
Fair play to them all, he’s entitled to make the most of this stage of his life, so I hope all his dreams come true
An unrequited love is a living curse
That only gets worse and harder to live with as you get older
I hope you’re reading this Mildred.
surely he’s come out as ‘more gay’
He got to cry into Holly’s chest every evening.
I think it very selfish that you won’t knock the brains (!) out of married men anymore. Think of all the lives that could be destroyed just because you wouldn’t give another human something they really needed that cost you nothing. It’s easy when you’re not married to make decisions like that, but those men have children who don’t need to any doubt about being loved. So, I say, go back to shagging the brains out of the needy. Everyone is better off for it.
His recent adverts with puppies and kittens confirmed it really.
