I am so sick of he questioning around if "NZ is ready for a gay All Black".
It's so demeaning to the general population. A bloody socialist was voted in overwhelmingly in the last GE. Why on earth would it not be ready for a gay All Black?
It's pathetic.
Exactly, the general population doesn't give a shit and the few that do would be destroyed for even hinting their disproval. If Ian Roberts can come out in the bogan league environment of the 90s, the idea that a gay AB will face backlash in 2023 is absolutely and utterly absurd.
He didn’t exactly start a trend though did he ?
The munter element in league is still very prevalent. Speaking of which it’s about that time of year when we read about shocking behaviour during pre season trainings, I’d better check some news sites…..
I’m surprised it’s taken an AB as long as this to be honest but everyone is different and faces their own demons I suppose.
Well he told who he needed to tell, and to be honest, I don't know or care what anyones sexual orietation is , whether they play for ABs or whoever, I not sure what demons are he is facing.
You know I played rugby an awful long time, and don't ever say I knew religion, sexual oritation etc of mates (and they all were to me) that I played with or against.
Same now, I go and play a bit of golf in a club where(small town etc) where I guess a few will laugh about this, but the funny thing is I don't know if any of them are gay straight or whatever, and they don't know whether I am either. -

Just seen this item in One News highlighting the Campbell Jonstone story which was played on an English nework , only problem was , the graphic they used was Derrin Whitcombe ..talk about feel short changed ..
Anyone else see that item..? -
I think it’s google’s fault. If you search for Johnstone that’s one of the first photos that shows up. Whitcombe’s photo has been used all over the uk coverage in particular

Hmm. Google suggests it's just rumours and innuendo. Thought it was well known. Shouldn't presume.

To be honest I’d heard the same. The interweb isn’t always accurate though.

Well it’s been a few days now and I hope other sports sit up, pay attention to this news and take inspiration from it.
Any day now we should get a Soccer player coming out and saying he’s straight.
Perfect.
- Funny, 'cause soccer players are gay-as, right? (I did snigger)
- And... a perfect example of how entrenched so-called "homophobia" is - that we still imply it as a slur in a thread such as this

There would be a variety of reasons for any high profile sportsperson not wanting to publicly announce what they do in the bedroom. I'm not sure NZ "not being ready" for it is one of them. Now Qatar on the other hand.....

But is it implying a slur that being a soccer player is gay, or that being gay is as bad as being a soccer player? Cos one doesn’t work and the other clearly does.
