Tom Daley Endures Homophobic Abuse On Twitter After Coming Out

Some of the homophobic abuse Tom Daley has endured on Twitter since sharing the news that he's dating a guy earlier today, below.

Of course he has received support too.

He tweets:

This is sad and why so many never come out as Bi, Gay, whatever.

Half of the guys saying this shit are probably closeted. Self-hatred ftw.

some of them are dumbass trolls

Most of them are probably straight, though.

Ugh I hate it when people say this shit,it's like a weak excuse to once again blame the victims. Straight people are the most on the planet an account for most of the homophobia so stop deflecting blame.

That's the last thing I'm doing. I don't think hurling insults is a good way to come to terms with one's sexuality. It DOES happen.

I hate this line of thinking...

It's basically saying that straight people are such innocent little angels that the homophobic dipshits must be "queers with issues".

Not. buying. it.

Ugh stop. Some straights are just stupid, end of story.

Usually seems like self-hating closeted people jump on or repeat someone else's comments then make their own, so a majority of these are probably close-minded cisgendered straight people.

If you're going be unpleasant, at least put in the effort of forcing a guilty chuckle out of me. They didn't even try.

Hateful people rarely do try.

Holy fuck. So much projecting.

i loved this episode

I'm really disappointed in the gay people I know who are so "PSHHHH HE GAYYYY" when it comes to bisexual people.

I almost want to unfriend them all because of their flop ass opinions, but I can't help but want to read their nonsense and know the ways in which they are shitty

idk why it's so hard for people to understand that you can be attracted to more than one gender simultaneously. It's not a difficult concept!

Because they aren't and a lot of people don't have the ability to think about another person's perspective or POV. :/

this!

smh at people in the other post saying hes gay, playing it safe, etc.

that's probably because so many lesbians/gays initially come out as bi or some variation to soften the blow and then you check back 5 yrs later and yeah... oop. yeah, they're gay/lesbian. it's so typical it's expected. most of the ppl saying that prob did the same thing.

That's why this is one of the issues I look at when weighing in on potential friends. I can't if you can't accept my sexuality just as validly as your own.

PERFECT REACTION A+ OMG I LOVE YOU <3 ~

lmao what does this even mean

It looks like someone else came out, too

ikr

i bet god loves juicy cocks too.

It sounds like he prays the gay away.

I almost feel bad for him.

so you can have as many cocks up your ass as you want, but as long as you're in denial about your sexuality, god doesn't have a problem with it. this is some next level shit

lmfao GET IT Jahk Dilla

Idk juicy cocks is cracking me the fuck up

I read this tweet 4xs. What I took away from it is:

Jahk likes socks
He also likes juicy cocks
And he's hateful jerk.

Beyond that I have no clue what's he's trying to say.

mmm juicy cocks

wat?

Ew. So much ignorance. But you know 95% of those people making those stupid comments are going to have no success in life. Their words can still hurt, but at least Tom should know he has a real talent is respected by so many more worthwhile people across the world!

yes, i fully expect twitter to be diplomatic about this~

Right? why people are always so shocked and outraged is beyond me.

lol why do people think that just because this is posted and people are commenting on it that anyone is even remotely surprised or shocked by the homophobia on twitter? I don't think anyone is. and if anyone's outraged by it, they should be.

Mte

hate twitter articles

In my perfect world, there is a master list that documents losers like this, and when they go to do something pleasurable they get denied access instantly.

"Oh you want tickets to this concert? Sorry. Please see your December 2, 3013 tweets for further information. Bye bye."

Somebody write it.

Heh, if only. It still perplexes me people say this shit when their real names are attached to these accounts. Prospective employers and maybe even admissions for some schools look at this stuff.
