During her time as Prime Minister legal homosexuality was still in its early days and such a thing as same sex marriage was never on the radar which wasn't legalised until Cameron became prime minister. Even in 2022 there are people living in this country including myself who don't believe homosexuality should be promoted in schools. Meanwhile its been reported today that a 17-year-old player has come out, becoming the only openly gay male professional footballer in Britain. Championship player comes out: 17-year-old is only openly gay male professional footballer in Britain (msn.com) Good on him. We need more people like him, brave enough to come out and and be a positive role model for young gay people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's to be hoped he doesn't follow the same path as a more famous footballer did called Justin Fashanu who hung himself. Don't be vile.

Rational people who disagreed with her politics have moved on as in the same way rational people in the late seventies didn't decide not to buy a better German car instead of a poorer British Leyland car because Adolf Hitler bombed some chip shop somewhere in Britain. It's perfectly possible to 'move on' without thinking someone should be celebrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Huge press attention, hostility from football crowds. A truly tragic life. 46 minutes ago, Rockers rule said: Lets erect a statue in his honour. We don't need to. But being supportive of his decision to go public would be a good thing. Don't you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
