British Olympic diver Tom Daley says
coming out gay shouldn't make headlines.
The 20-year-old Daley made a splash
seven months ago when he revealed in a YouTube video that he's in
love with a man. We've since learned that that man is Milk
screenwriter and LGBT rights activist Dustin Lance Black.
Daley also said in the clip that he
still “fancied girls” but later declared he was “a gay man.”
In a cover story for UK gay glossy
Attitude, Daley said he didn't think coming out should grab
headlines.
“I don't think it should be news,”
Daley
said. “I don't think it matters who you choose to be in a
relationship with.”
“But I understand that it is still
news. I think we live in a society that is far more accepting than
it was five or ten years ago, but we've still got a way to go before
people no longer assume you're in a heterosexual relationship.”
Daley added that “at some point I
would love to marry and have kids.”
