Be warned - secret gays are lurking
Emperor Fadeaway:
I must urge everyone to be alert and alarmed at this epidemic which I shall simply refer to as "gay lurking".
At the outset I must praise Matthew Mitcham for having the guts to be honest about his sexuality, it's probably costing him a few million dollars though! :lol:
His current predicament adds more weight to the "Ian Thorpe is gay" lobby though, me included. Logically, if the incentive of false denial is great (i.e lots of $$$), then the probability of false denial occurring is also great.
And what about Rafael Nadal? I mean, what sort of guy says that he doesn't enjoy the victory so much because the other guy cried. Any ordinary bloke (yes I said ordinary you bunch of treehugging commies) would enjoy it more!
Discuss.

How would coming out of the closet in Ian Thorpe's case mean a loss of $$? I understand with some, for example that little munchkin Anthony Callea only came out of the closet after his career was plumetting (3 months after idol) and for him there was a risk of losing $$ because of the lucrative teenage girl market. Having said that though the gay market is also incredible lucrative- Kylie anyone??!
Emperor Fadeaway:
So where exactly did you miss the point that I am discussing corporate sponsorships, not the gay market in general? The beginning, the middle or was it at the end? :?

Um I'm pretty sure my reply was in response to that- I asked you how would Ian Thorpe and other supposed 'secret gays' coming 'out of the closet' affect their sponsorship deals??
Erubadhriel:
your response was talking about consumer demographics. fadey's talking about paying people to stay in the closet.
