  • my hero :)

  • Still the discrimination is a survivor too. In the hearts of many. Parents deny their kids love before they come out because they know and do not accept life that way. You are one of many who came out and are happy with it. There are many who came out and are sad with it. There are all types due to stereotypes, time frames and so much more we tell people to be. Good luck to you rugby player.

  • So inspirational!

  • god he's beautiful. not just physical beauty but the spiritual beauty.

  • I think labeling people as 'gay' is also a discreet and overlooked form of homophobia, they're human beings just like everyone else, it's 'cause most people feel the need to label gay people as 'gay' so they're more comfortable with their own sexuality, I'm straight but I don't label people as gay, they're human beings regardless of their sexual orientation.

  • You did NOT ruin your wife's life. She had the opportunity to be with a kind, compassionate, honest, humble man....and for that she can only be thankful. Better than most women will ever find in their lives.

  • Seeing Gareth Thomas on this clip blew my mind. I have never seen a man with so much elegance, beauty, and grace. Not only is he inspiring, but he's also courageous. I am deeply moved by this. He has truly broken all boundaries, stereotypes, walls, chains, and cages that we as a people have confined ourselves to. I couldn't help, but to smile as he filled my heart and soul up with warmth. Anyone who has had the honor of meeting you in person is very blessed. Thank you, Gareth Thomas!!!

  • I love his red skin. :P

  • It is so bitter to hear how ok everyone aroud you took it. I was not welcome at my parents house anymore.

  • @Jansen1403 I'm sad to hear that.

  • hes a really nice guy

  • im exactly the same as him! im from england and play football not rugby! im only 19 and everything is soo confusing. I also walk across the cliffs near where i live and also want it to just end! Gareth has just made me realise im not alone, i now have hope! thank you sooo much gareth <3

  • you are hot hot hot like fire

    i am dreaming about a boyfriend just like you !

  • Sorry Gareth to disappoint you but it doesn't ever get better

  • @tetsuan25 Better is relative and rightly so. It can get better if you let it. It only stays the same when you just cant let go. You cant change how the world reacts to you...the only power you have is over how you react to it!

  • Britain has too many "populists"

  • It's only a lie if you tell people you are straight. Just because you choose "not" to go around telling everyone you are gay, does not mean you are living a lie. Nor does it mean you are deceiving anyone.

    No disrespect to Gareth, but he is a bit of an attention seeking populist. His presence on a tacky tv show like Big Brother proves this. He really should not go around telling other youngsters that life "gets better" if they come out. Not all young lads come from nice caring happy families.

  • Beautiful inside and out.

  • HE'S SO SINCERE, O_O. I wish everybody's like him

  • Comment removed

  • wow u r awesome kisses:)

  • Thanks for sharing mate. Wish i knew where i stood in my life.

  • I think this guy is GREAT! Admire him immensely. Period.

  • top lad

    

  • Very impressive video. Except for the rugby and marriage parts of his story I see a lot of my story in his. See my videos if you'd like.

  • I watch this at least once a month. Its still as touching as the first time I saw it. I just adore this man.

  • he got a beautiful chest!

  • it gets better

  • YOU'RE MY HERO!

    

  • He's such a nice guy!

  • thats pretty inspirational

  • Love youuuuuuu sooo much Gareth.... (and I am available, just in case)...

  • This is incredibly admirable.

  • Thank you Gareth for letting the world know that it does get better. You are 100% right. We love you and thank you for what you are doing!!!

  • This is how homophobia affects straight people too. Homophobia isnt just about Gay bashing, its a father who cant hug his son... a mother who is afraid of smothering her boy... a straight man who wants to pursue a stereotypically feminine occupation but cant... and gay men who are socially pressured to lead heterosexual lifestyle, and develope false relationships with women. But keep in mind, the women who complain about this, are often times teaching their sons to do it, ironic

  • Gareth- thank you for this. Most people have no idea of the fact that the worst person to come out to is yourself. It's that momement when you finally say "I will not despirately try to want something that I know in my soul I do not want..... "

  • He probably gets the most dicks in the gay community

  • f,,,,g pussy

  • @pavelzolnaj so him being gay makes him a pussy even if he is one of the thoughest Rugby player? Right that totally makes sense (sarcasm)

  • @pavelzolnaj Let's see what a tough guy you are. I would like you to go up Gareth Thomas, and call him a faggot to his face. My bet is that you would be the pussy in that encounter.

  • @pavelzolnaj the only f.. p..y here is you mate. get a book and free yourself.why watch it on the 1st place? ignorance will kill you one day u know

  • @pavelzolnaj And you are watching this video because...???

  • Comment removed

  • Well spoken, I admire your strength. I hope to be as strong as you someday, I hate the living in fear part.

  • Courage sets people free Bro u got heaps of courage heaps

  • can I just touch his chest?

  • that was deep brother.

  • i need to get one of those shirts, i'm not gay but i think everyone should where those

  • ssoo proud of u an i dont even like rugby - wel now i do cause we are the world champs :) your an incredible man for doing what u had to , confronting it an moving on wit you being your true self :) al the best to you , your family , friends an career. Phil - NEW ZEALAND.

  • are u into tranny too? :) even a bit? im kidding! u go man!! u go!!

  • If I seen Gareth Thomas in person I'd give him a big Bromance hug. Or as we say in Wales a "Cwtch" lol. He is a legend.

  • marry me

  • Whoa, this guy has a swimming pool.

  • That announcement was more important than all the rugby games Gareth has ever played. What a gutsy guy. What an inspiration. You're saving lives here, Gareth. Way to go!

  • i'm from north wales and i think gareth thomas is a very good player. i supported him when i didn't know he was gay supported him when he was supported him now he has retierd from rugby union and league.

  • This is inspiring, because im going thru the same thing he was going thru yet im onky 22. I dont wanna continue to lie to make everyone happy. I mean its just hard though.

  • someone to finally break the stereotypes in my head

  • Why the fuck would anyone give a shit if someone is gay?

  • @RonBurgundy161 If I was gay, I wouldn't be able to shit

  • @totallytontoed Sexual intercourse amongst homosexuals isn't the same issue as BEING a homosexual.

  • Comment removed

  • @RonBurgundy161 Good question.

  • @RonBurgundy161 finally!

  • @RonBurgundy161 some people feel threatened by those who are a little different, it's very sad, and sadder still is that they firmly believe they arent to blame for the consequences of their bigotry and hate

  • @RonBurgundy161 "gay"? Not a big deal. Homosexual ...now that's a different story.&

    Of course, "[anyone] would give a shit"---"if someone" is intent on mating with a member of the same sex of their species. It is counter-productive Let's just say that ;-/

  • @RonBurgundy161 Narcissism

  • Thank you for doing this.You are very inspiring.

  • Gareth- life really does get better. Thank you for your courage.

  • Such courage

  • i love Him

  • When i saw his face on this video he looked sad, it's my impression. I read that his ex-wife had 3 miscarriages and she doesn't really want to know about him. Being gay si very hard and sad.

  • @Rotenman no it isn't : being gay is great and I wouldn't want to be anything else even if I could

  • @Dirkdebruyne  i understand you man, i respect you man, but i don't agree. cheers.

  • @Dirkdebruyne I think it must be a pain in the ass

  • Gareth, I don't care if your gay your still a kick ass rugby player!

  • gareth thomas is AMAZING and a wonderful role model for people.

  • ''god hates gays''

    why don't you fuck off. I'm not one to diss religion but keep your cave man view to yourselves. Gareth is a role-model <3

  • Well, I guess all all Rugby players are homophobic, since they fear Gareth Thomas

  • @Theriot6592 No wonder ; would you bend over in front of him in the bath to pick up the soap ?

  • @TheKenfig Every time.

  • @TheKenfig Well you wouldn't walk properly ever again

  • @TheKenfig

    Whoa? Did this comment somehow escape the 80s or 90s?

    So I guess you think gays just run around planning sneak anal attacks?

    I mean, what did you think was happening the entire time this guy was gay, but just not out, during his 25+ year Rugby career (I'm including school in that)?

    Seriously bro, unless I missed the context or you were being sarcastic, this has gotta be the one most immature and misinformed comments around.

  • @psustud5327 Well why did you make it then ?

  • God bless you Gareth.

  • I hope I can grow up to become like this man.

  • @onebadgs400 If being a "sodomite" is really such a serious fundamental problem, then what is YOUR solution? And while I'm here, what is your problem?

  • @onebadgs400

    Funny that you'd come to site that challenges homophobia only to spew your vile form of hatred.

    Homosexuality has been around as long as humans have walked the planet. We need no justification and we don't need to explain it to hateful, ugly people like you. Go crawl back under your rock. Better yet, get some therapy to deal with your anger and hatred.

  • @onebadgs400

    You are a sad human being. I hope you do get some therapy. It's quite obvious that you have a need to sit in judgement of others. I think you should explore that need since it makes you an ugly person.

    ps I don't have a "lifestyle" (a term homophobes use all the time to spew their hatred of gays). I have a life. In fact, all gays have a life. You don't.

    Respond with more hate if you want, but I'm not coming back here to check it. Adios, you sad hateful person.

  • @onebadgs400 I do agree that it's wrong to lie to woman like he had for so many years. But you know what? One of the reasons he couldn't be honest about himself is because of people like you. And "now that it's convenient to be gay"??? Are you crazy!? In what way does being the only openly gay sportsman in a team sport in the entire world count as "convenient"? He had no obligation to fight for any cause, just as black people had no obligation to fight in the 1950's.

  • @onebadgs400 He never said that he cheated.  It is very possible, and even likely, as closeted as he was, that he never cheated on her. You know you're gay long before you ever have sex, the same (I'm assuming) as with straight people.

  • @onebadgs400 What he did is between him and his ex-wife. I'm just pointing out that that was never mentioned explicitly. If she's okay with it, what the fuck business of yours is it? Also, as a gay man who has not had sex or been promiscuous, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Did you know you were attracted to women before you had sex with one, or did you have to try it out first?

  • Your true has make a testimony in many people life's ... And i wish i have friends and family who support you like you do...

    wish to meet you in person.. anyway is just my tots.

    thanks for sharing yourself in Youtube.

    Regard:

    Chris Teo

  • FAO all you bible-bashing god botherers and homophobes spouting shit on here - don't you realise it takes a heterosexual couple to make a homo?

  • Love It Thanks mate!

  • @onebadgs400 haha... first you have to ask yourself... "Why am I watching a video geared towards homosexuals?"

  • @onebadgs400: This IS him taking responsibility for his actions. What kind of responsibility do you expect him to take? Every single television appearance/ newspaper article, he continuously apologises and tries to justify the way he feels. Do YOU even KNOW how it feels to be someone who carries feelings for the same sex & be looked down upon? Its easy to sit there and judge others because they you yourself dont feel the pain. An ounce of understanding doesnt cost anything. Good on you Gareth!

  • @onebadgs400 You were doing so well until you got to the end of your sentence. Then you showed your REAL reason for hating on this guy. Fucking homophobe...go sort your attitude out and quit watching videos of something you are supposedly 'against'.

  • @onebadgs400

    1) Just because non-gays aren't mentioned in most of these videos doesn't mean they are being forgotten. This is like saying we are ignoring lung cancer because we want a cure to breast cancer.

    2) Gays are approx. 4 times more likely to commit suicide than other. This is because of vicious cowards like yourself.

    3) I assure this man has apologized to his wife. And you know... it DOES get better for her because she can now find a man that loves her in ways Gareth could not.

  • @onebadgs400 whats with your attutude! hes helping ppl so they wouldnt make a mistake and ruin someone life by living a lie , he owned up to it he admited that he wasted and ruined 15 years of her life! man st8 ppl ruins each othesr lifes havent you ever been homesick and run into the maury polvich show!

  • Comment removed

  • @TripleGenre Haha I like that

  • I wonder how many lives could be lived much better if people learnt to accept homosexuality. How many disasters, problems, struggles and suicides could be prevented if only people started to understand what is like to be gay in such society sometimes. We just want to love each other...

    I think that these kinds of video are very useful but sad at the same time

  • gay and proud here, come to Cardiff Gareth, plenty of gay bars/clubs to go to :)

  • WOW what a testimony! Gareth I didn't know you. I just clicked the video almost unconsciously and was presented with probably the most honest, heartfelt, real story I've ever heard in my life. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Maybe at forty I will find the courage to tell the truth. Thank You!

  • @keith4291 FUCK U BITCH WITH ALL THET BUMBACLUT CUNT BIG COUGHT JANKA SHANK LMFAO

  • @beautifulwhitecat How do you dare say such things? And you call yourself christian? It seems you have no clue of the message Christ brought to this earth and you only read a few convienet passages of the bible. If you believe in that old book so much, so keep it to yourself as well as your wrong opinions.

  • @beautifulwhitecat it also says you shouldn't eat shellfish, trim your beard or sideburns, etc.... The more intelligent you are the less you need God

  • @beautifulwhitecat stfu u ugly troll! not everyone believes in stupid fairy tales!

  • your great!! amazing!!

  • God bless you Gareth! So glad you didn't hurt yourself. Love you bud even though I don't know you. Took a lot of guts and balls to do what you did. I really admire you for having that kind of courage. You take care. All the best mate. Cheers John

  • He's a great player... insanely hot too!

  • I look up to you

  • You are a tough guy, and you are a tough rugby player, but you're equally gentle too. We love you Gareth
