"Tom Daley, the 19-year-old British diving star who won a bronze medal at last summer’s Olympics and is one of his nation’s most famous athletes, posted a YouTube video on Monday that revealed he’s currently in a relationship with a man.

In the frank, five-minute clip, which racked up more than a half-million views in its first few hours online, Daley said “I still fancy girls” but revealed that he’s recently started dating a man."

All I can really say is good for him.

Not really surprised to be honest, but happy for him.

I know people that want him. (Coughmecough)

But anyway, this is great. Not only for him (and us) but also for the lgbt community. More and more famous people are coming out, showing that it isn't all taboo to not be straight.

I'm really happy for him; I have supported him since he was in his first Olympics. I have always thought that there was a possibility of him being gay; but it makes no difference he is still an amazingly strong and talented person, who is achieving his dreams. I'm really happy for hima nd I will still support him no matter what.

D'aw how great! I love watching videos like that. Also, when I was looking at the title of this thread, I read it as, "Teenage British Driving Star" and I was completely confused.
