Mark Foster: ‘I tiptoed around in the shadows for so long, but now is the time to come out’

The mood appears as serene in Foster’s home but a deeper truth is about to surface. “It’s not like I’ve been pushed to come out,” the former world champion swimmer says as he prepares to tell the world he is gay. “I’ve just swerved and swerved. Telling half-truths and not being my true self is only hurting me. I’m 47, a middle-aged man, and I’m no longer competing. And I’m not the first gay sportsman to come out. Gareth Thomas and Tom Daley led the way.”

Observation: People 'coming out' as being gay, has gotten rather common, ergo, not front page news much anymore.

The man needs to see a doctor....being queer is a mental issue
