The Red Tops are in a tizzy. Even the Telegraph and the Guardian are confused. All because a rugby player has come out of the closet.
Gareth Thomas (Wales and Cardiff Blues) has told the Daily Mail (and the rest of the world) that he is gay. Wales’ most capped player has told of his life of “agony”, “despair” and “guilt”
He confessed to Scott Johnson, a coach, who, thinking Thomas could do with the support, told his team-mates Stephen Jones and Martyn Williams.
“They came in, patted me on the back and said ‘We don’t care’,” Thomas said.
“Two of my best mates in rugby didn’t even blink an eyelid.”
Since then he has told his Cardiff Blues team-mates and it has not caused a problem.
Well, there we have it.
If any gay men out there are confused about their love of running around in the cold and the mud, we suggest you contact The Cardiff Lions, Wales first and only gay Rugby Union side and current holders of the Union Cup 10s Tournament.
