I'm gay. I know about 9 or 10 other gay Charlton fans. We're out there, and we're coming to get you :P
We're not really, that was a joke. As supporters, we're not much different to anyone else. We don't sit there saying "ooh look at him, isn't he hot" or anything like that.
I think that the first step towards current gay footballers coming out publicly (if that would make them happy) would be a well respected, recently-retired ex pro announcing that he was gay. I think that it will happen at some point, but I have no idea who might break the ice...
Btw, in case anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not actually Richard Rufus. He was just my favourite player.

Its a well known fact that watching 'The sound of music.' will make you a gay.
To find put if any players are gay, simply have the PA to play My favourite Things Anyone who knows the words and joins by singing is a proper gayer.
So be on the look out for anyone that sings
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
so, if you don't mind me asking. How do you know all the words?
What a weird post. For a start, I'm not sure there's ever been a time when 'all gays' acted like John Inman, and I'd imagine the main attraction of being gay for anyone like Gareth Thomas is the fact they'd be sleeping with people they fancy rather than ones they don't?
All gays don't act like John Inman. During the 2nd world war Homosexuality was commonplace amongst Gurkhas yet the Germans and Japanese were terrified of thier fighting capabilities.
Having just seen the comments made by (now former) Oxford footballer Lee Steele, it is little wonder that most gay footballers are reluctant to come out. Imagine if you were gay and happened to be one of his team mates. Good to see Oxford being decisive on this.

I always get a bit cynical about this kind of "decisive" action. I don't know much about the player or the club, but it wouldn't shock me if it didn't rather suit a non-league club to get shot of a 38 year old. When a league team cut a star player or rated prospect loose for this type of thing, I'll be a bit more convinced that there's progress
it is sad that gay footballers can't be open but as long as a vocal minority of football fans think it is perfectly accepatble -even necessary- to have to no or low standards of behaviour I can't see anything changing.
As far as we're aware, two (poss three) of our 1st team squad at Spurs are gay. Does it make a difference? course it doesnt.
That must be bloody awkward for them given your fans' penchants for certain songs about Sol Campbell
No worse than our manager and star striker having to hear the Lisbie song I'd guess.
You don't have to be gay or black to be offended by those songs or in fact any kind of discrimination.
Indeed not. I am offended by the Addams Family song, for example and my sister is not my mother (or watever the line is!).
Of course anyone can be offended, but my point was that the problem is particularly prevalent and therefore harder to change because rather than 5 or 6 idiots singing the song (like the Lisbie one), quite often at Spurs it's near enough the whole crowd.

bloke at work is a bit artistic and musicy etc and can't stand football and blokish stuff - says he quite likes the idea of being gay but couldn't be doing with somebody trying to stick their c**k up his a**e. Guess there are all sorts coz i'd imagine that must be the main attraction for 'butch gays' like the welsh rugby captain - it was a lot simpler to understand when all gays acted like John Inman.
Well, I have to own up to being 'artistic', (having gone to art college) and I love my music, and when I had hair it was long. George Best, was my hero when I grew up, a man not without his issues, but was a good friend of Jimmy Hendrix,( amongst other musician's) had a fashion line/shop, and had long hair, and had a decent score with woman, ( including several Miss worlds, and ex wives). I can remember a time when 'real men' did not wear aftershave. Henry Cooper must have gone out on a limb then flogging Brut?. And as for Kevin Keegan with his perm, obviously him and Souness, must have had a thing going on at Liverpool?....... I think not? Just good footballers.
I wasn't suggesting that everybody that's into music and art (even if you have long hair) are gay other than wanting a bit up the gary, just relaying something my mate at work said which i thought was quite amusing. He does have long hair mind you and wouldn't be surprised if he didn't like a bit splashed all over. I never knew about Cooper, Keegan and Souness mind you - always thought they were straight. You live and learn.

The witchhunt begins.....
