one of the very few elite athletes to come out as gay and say he's struggling with mental health issues and hiv. What a wimp.It all depends on the circumstances.
Men in general are terrified of going to the doctors and especially getting themselves checked out. Him coming out with hiv will shock a few into going to get themselves checked.

He did it because of blackmail not to be inspirational.
Er no. You are just embarrassing with horrendous craicYet you choose to participate and give your opinion ...
... just as other people have done.
Are opinions only allowed if they agree with your own or are they all simply dismissed as embarrassing.
Why do you think everyone is arguing with you on this thread marra, is it some kind of coup?I'm not saying he shouldn't come forward, fair play to him.
I just don't see him as the ideal role model the media appear to want to make him.
He seems to be on the verge of a breakdown at times, it may not be as cathartic for him as people believe ....
... although I'm sure it makes good TV.
I don’t agree with that at all. It’s not his responsibility to tell the world other people’s illnessesIf he's sincere in wishing to remove the stigma, and empower people, i'm sure he'll say...
... if he knows.
HIV is a disease not a badge of honour. I would disown your mates marra they sound like bad news.I have a couple of gay pals, and they say for some it's like a badge of honour in the gay community. I can't quite get me head round that one
magWhy don't you think he represents his cause well (which you've omitted from your bolding)?
It's a bit daft suggesting I would use 'mob law' considering what my reputation is on here. Totally irrelevant too.
Speaking of 'mob law', seems they're starting to turn up in here. I'll let the thread carry on to avoid the inevitable derailment.
Comment made on the radio was that he had little choice and was being “blackmailed “ that a paper was going to leak the story... may be doing more harm than good.
He's about to appear on the BBC News with another tearful display claiming he wishes to 'empower people'.
Whatever his cause, whether I believed in it or not, I'd be thinking of distancing myself from him.
The concept that bursting into tears makes someone a hero is really starting to wear a bit thin.
I don’t agree with that at all. It’s not his responsibility to tell the world other people’s illnesses
Erm you are missing my point, I won't disown my pals for them saying for some people in the gay community see it as a badge of honour. They don't see it as a badge of honour, so why the hell would I disown a couple of my mates for them saying thatHIV is a disease not a badge of honour. I would disown your mates marra they sound like bad news.
