    The whole celebration of Philip Schofield for being "so brave" in coming out was farcical. He made a fool of his wife and a mockery of his marriage. Imagine realising that the entire life you'd built with someone was a lie, that they knew about the whole time. His wife should have been given the tonnes of support dished out, but instead people were tripping themselves up to congratulate him for living a lie. It's 2020. Nobody cares if you're gay.

    My two cents on it is that she probably knew and was happy to go along with it and stay in the lifestyle she’s in.

    The Big Shock would have been if Schofield was Straight.

    I wouldn't like to put a probability on it but it's certainly possible that it was an arrangement. It's pretty unlikely he could have had a 30 year affair and not have his wife find out. And other people are free eto run their relationships any way they like.

    If it was arranged and part of the deal then it's not cheating. But we don't know so probably best not pretend we know.

    My UO is that his sexuality, or anyone else's for that matter, is none of our business.
    If you care about a strangers sexuality, you need something else to worry about.

    True. Like I said, nobody cares if he's gay. It's the media outpouring and social media "hero" binge and vomit that got me. I couldn't give a shíte who he sleeps with. :)

    correct.
    to me he is a cheating adulterer, who treated his wife like dirt.


    He should be criticized, not praised for sleeping around and lying to his wife, but they wont for fear people will be called anti gay.


    its ridiculous

    Yeah but you don't know what his and his wife's relationship arrangement is. Maybe it was based on monogamy and he cheated, maybe it wasn't based on monogamy and his same sex relationship was fine.

    how does that alter the fact of him portrayed as some "brave" figure


    If your sisters husband was cheating on her for 30 years, would you be calling him brave ?

    Yeah, you don't know if it was cheating or not. That was the point of the post you quoted. Not sure if you missed the point or just ignored it.

    again you missed the point

    even if his wife and he had an open relationship, it still does make him "brave"

    which part of this are you having difficulty with ?

    The right thing to do would have been to come out years ago when he first knew he was gay. The Brave thing to do ~ ~ might have interfered with his career back then. Might not have been as popular with the Ladies ! !

    In my opinion most wives are not sexually attracted to their husband. They had sex with men wmthat were attracted to in their younger years, but when it comes time to settling down they want to find a dependable man they can control.

    I have no opinion on how brave/cowardly it was. It wouldn't make the news if i was in charge of news.
    Doesn't change the fact that you have no clue whether he was cheating or what his relationship with his wife was based on.

    Sexuality confuses me to no end. If a previously straight guy has homosexual sex, the conclusion is often that he is gay or on the way, whilst if a previously gay man has heterosexual sex, he is still considered a gay man perhaps occasionally bi. It seems we define people by homosexual acts but not heterosexual acts.

    I think most people get what they think they want. Many men grow up with over bearing mom's and seem to replicate that in their marriage.

    But it's not all the same stereotype.
