erilynInteresting little piece in the gossip/celebrity/society centre page in the Sun-Herald today. And no, I don't make a habit of reading the 'society' pages ;)
"Ever the elegant young man, there has been plenty of talk about who Ian Thorpe's lucky date will be for the Autore Ball on Friday night. Thorpe...is not likely to take his real-life partner, we're informed. Why take an unknown when you can have your pick of two of Australia's most beautiful women?"
(I'll skip the stuff about Sarah O'Hare and Elle, to get too...)
"While we admire Thorpe's ability to squire some of the world's most beautiful women to these glittering events, we think it is high time he finally introduced the actual object of his affections."
Hoo boy! I have never seen Ian Thorpe's sexuality so obviously mentioned in mainstream media. Nice example of the pronoun game, Herald.
He's not really closeted, he doesn't seem to do the fake girlfriend routine, it seems to be something lots of people know, and of course, I'm don't belive he has to make an issue of his sexuality. He shouldn't have to, and really, it just shouldn't matter.
But wouldn't it be awesome if he did come out?
