Except dippy divvy who cares enough to start a thread on a chess site forum. Jeez
-Removed-It's an interesting thread and we are now on the second page now without anyone being mean. 🙂
It's a big deal for him apparently. You only get one chance to come out and he wanted to have his. What this the most elegant way? Yeah maybe not.
As a celebrity of sorts its easy to think everything is done in that context, that he is somehow trying to increase his celebrity. Look at me, I'm Gay!
Not sure that is what is happening here. Maybe.
There are a lot of people who are glad he said what everyone already knew. There are some who are going to say the same thing today. Or tomorrow. But it can be hard and it can be scary and having a celebrity do it on national television can maybe make it easier. Maybe that is what is going on here - again not sure.
If you are a 14 year old gay male living in in Chelsea or Fulham, what this guy did on TV most certainly matters.
Kudos for starting the thread, it's a discussion worth having.
-Removed-I’m aware of a similar situation, a married couple of the same age, the husband suddenly stayed out all night then returned home with a bizarre excuse. Then he disappeared again for good. He’d left his wife and two tiny children to move in with a man quite a lot older. We were all pretty disgusted at the time. The wife developed psychological problems through the shock and abandonment.
Schofield has put his family first for a very long time. Now he can feel free to have a homosexual relationship with his family’s approval. Getting older gives you the motivation to make dramatic changes to your life because you know you have limited time left.
-Removed-and you may be right ... the spectacle was not easy on the eyes 😞
Sexuality and gender identification is complicated though. We think about it a lot. And like many things in life it's hard to be perceived as "different". Which can quickly be redefined as "the other".
@hope saidAssuming we don't hurt anybody, should there be a need to tell people we don't know about our sexual preferences? I think deceit is what should be dealt with.
