The Whole ‘I am Gay’ Publicity Stunt!

Being an open gay man, I was very happy to hear of Tom Daley’s ‘coming out’ story, but with such a media interest, I cannot help but wonder if the whole thing was a publicity stunt for Tom’s new TV series ‘Splash’

Mr Daley wrote this on his twitter just a couple of hours ago…

Thanks for your support  Still Tom. Still diving. Going for gold in 2016. What I am or who I date shouldn’t matter. #Road2Rio

Wise words for such a young guy….. BUT

And I use a major BUT

If who you are, or who you date…. does not matter, then why announce such a big chunk of your personal life on YOUTUBE.

I lost a huge amount of respect for Tom after reading this comment on his official twitter page.

Being gay is a struggle day to day, due to the high mass of homophobia some of us go threw

 hearing Tom’s latest  video about him being in a relationship with a man and referring to himself as  ’BI’ tells us, that he is still keeping options open to both his male and female fanbase…

But I begin to worry if this is just a way for Tom and his management team to CASH in until he takes part in the Rio Olympics in 2016???

I hope I am wrong, but seeing how Tom is now has become a celebrity more than a diver…..

Is this just a way for the Tom Daley to sell more books/calendars and become a million pound brand?

Whats your opinions?
