So Thorpie is soooo not gay. Well he sure is camp. Why does he and his close friends find it ‘hurtful’ for him to be called gay. He previously said he likes gay people and has gay friends!!! Why does he thinks its a problem to be gay or to be called gay? This sends a very bad homophobic message to young people, whether gay or not. It reinforces poor self esteem amoung young people coming out and encourages bullies to pick on ‘not straight’ young people, as being called gay is ‘hurtful’ so an easy tag to use in bullying.

ok. I really don't care about what thorpey does in his personal life, and he doesn't like these accuastations so the press and public should just stop speculating. The press just want to make a headline and they don't care how.
I don't care if he's gay or not, and i don't care whether he chooses to reveal his personal life or not they are his decisions. He has always had a line which he did not cross with family so he had refudge from the public.
Thorpey is a legend!

Could I suggest you back up a step? (I will use FANTASTIC MAN–style majuscules for clarity.)

Mr. IAN THORPE is a multimillionaire. Why does he need an housemate? He can afford to live on his own without the contributions of Mr. DANIEL MENDES, unless of course such contributions are other than financial.

Let me guess. Just by coincidence has Daniel Mendes also had a lack of girlfriends in his life?
Even before I knew of Daniel Mendes I would have put it at about 99.9% that Thorpey putted from the rough but if Mendes doesn't a string of girlfriends like every other good looking hetro male then it puts it completely beyond doubt.
Come clean Thorpey!!!

Hey, what a nice article, Defamer ;) Of coooooourse the article on the DT has a hell of a lot of innuendo, ppl!!! You don’t have to re-re-read it to realize that, do you? It’s blatantly trying to out Thorpey. I’m not a fan of outing anybody, in no way. If he’s gay, wonderful! If that’s the case, he will choose the right moment to come out…If he’s not, the press needs to get their facts right, just leave him alone and basta.
But I can’t help having a strong feeling that these two are together and Thorpey will come out and admit it one day…maybe this year ha! :)
They are such a cute couple xxx

Good for him. I came out all of 2 months ago and feel amazing. I’m only 19 though. He needs to man up and get it over with. I’ve never felt more content with my life than I am now.
