CNN - Former Rugby Star Ben Cohen Tackles Anti-Gay Bullying

[skipskops]

This guy is AMAZING! I take my hat off to him completely. What an amazing guy.

[GESgeorgie69]

What a great guy, love him.

[lynx2cross]

Everyone wants to be accepted, respected, and loved for who they are. It really is quite that simple, why so few seem to be unable to grasp this is beyond me. We all don't have to think alike and be alike in order to do this.

[stevearies38]

Ben is an amazing man. Love him, love him, love him!!!!!!!

[BorisCr]

Ben Cohen is a saint, and should be worshipped as such!!!

[oxjhan9]

THE ONLY TRUE JUSTICE IS EQUALITY AND SOCIAL HARMONY, THROUGH UNDERSTANDING, IT STARTS WITH TOLERANCE, NOT VENGEANCE AND PUNISHING OTHERS FOR YOUR BIASES

SOCIAL HARMONY DOSENT MEAN EVERYONE HAS TO BE IN AGREEMENT IT MEANS NO ONE IS INTENDING TO FORCE HIS OR HER OPINION ON OTHERS

IT DOSENT MEAN EVERYONE IS THE SAME IT MEANS THAT EVERYONE RESPECTS AND TOLERATES THE DIFFERENCES THAT GIVE RICHNESS TO LIFE

BE HARMONIOUS BE RESPECTFUL

[QueerSwede1]

He is great.

But this says a lot about heterosexual males, noone expect this from any of them. Straight women have dont this for hundreds of years, being allied and fought beside us. Straight men...not so much, no wonder, they are the reason we all suffer.

What a Beautiful Gentleman!!!!!!!!!

[evileve18]

This gives me hope for humanity<3

[too8loo8w]

Que bello es! 

[locomangoze]

Never thought I'd say this about a Pommy Union Player, but this guy is a legend.

p.s. go aussies :P :P

[Uouttooo]

The guy is an exhibitionist. He never seems to turn down an opportunity to take his shirt off.

[MrOp86]

@Uouttooo I fail to see the problem with this

[Uouttooo]

@MrOp86

He is more about taking his shirt off than fight against any kind of discrimination. Basically shirt off comes first before discrimination. If it happens to help with discrimination, sure ok.

[PimpMyParadigm]

[holdingthevision]

Thank you Ben!!!! You have all my sympathy for the loss of your Dad. What a way to make a tragedy into a triumph!!! May you be blessed. Amen.

[eneourx]

Nice and good man

[chavochavo22]

[anthonynewsome]

he's fantastic

[Mark5058]

Now we need a top footballer (in the UK) to follow suit. Ryan Giggs, join Ben’s campaign and help repair your profile.

[xMikanNamix]

People like Ben give me a little more faith in humanity.

He's an inspiration

[Rumake]

It’s love that makes a family, but it’s marriage that protects it.

As a person who endured bullying because of my homosexuality the thought of a straight man walking away from a lucrative career to try and protect LBGT youth makes me cry.  This world needs more people like Ben Cohen.

[ricnjon]

thanks for all you do for LGBT

[robertfrankstrait]

What an amazing straight man !

[jimjrdetore]

The world is a better place with Ben Cohen. Everyone should learn from his example and practice it daily. He is an inspiration to us all! Thank you Ben!

[pitochupon]

LOVE HIM.

[paulahare2]

thank's

[Iceblooo]

I approve 100% of what he's doing but does he realise the Queen and royal family are part of the very right wing establishment who encourage gay bullying and the erosion of gay rights ? We have to stand up against bullying AND right wing people who are our enemies.

[lafemmefatalle]

Good on ya, Mate. Thank you!!!

[beeblmeyer]

Eyes full of water, blurring my vision of the world's most beautiful human being.

[Christopher0312]

What a spectacular human being.

[irvykinneas]

makes me wanna cry that there are people with such a big heart like him

[justinlwerner]

Finally, a celebrity athlete with some substance. It's good to see one with empathy, principles and a noble mission.

[BlindedLantern]

Ben Cohen Is A HERO!!! Plain and Simple!

[TitParty]

Stand up to bullies. Hit them back.

[wawa2]

Wonderful! Thank you, Ben for being an ally.

[PolytheisticDeities]

Glad too see more and more sports people around the world standing against homophobia and bullying!

(p.s. hes soooo HOT (: )

[rextrek]

nice guy- and a major babe

[Protagonistinfluence]

rugbyplayer and awesome person... <3

[masticina]

Yeah for Ben indeed.

Really homophobia is so not needed.

[dafttool]

Wish there were more sports stars like Ben. As a gay man who spent his youth in various sports growing up, I appreciate his efforts & the culture he's trying educate. Also, what a remarkable role model for deaf people he is as well. :)

[beastygeorge]

YAY for people like Ben!

=)

[sadguyfoundout1]

There is something very special about straight people doing things that benefit the lifes of the LGBT community. Its just so surreal and amazing.
