Headline is nothing but clickbait – there is nothing in the article to back up the claim that ‘many commonewealth games athletes are closeted’.

The article is realy an opinion piece and not a news story. The opinion part is of one’s person experience that coming out brought out his authentic self.

For the record I would also like to state my own opinion, that I am not out but I am still authentic to myself, and nor would I promote that people have to come out to be authentic.

Why should anyone be surprised ?!
A large proportion of our own Australian religious majority are homophobic as well as a significant proportion of the 42 countries who are competing !
Many of those countries are also controlled by left wing sociopaths, despotic dictators or who practice communism and the Islamic ideology. Any GLBTI individual who exposes their homosexuality or caught behaving in a homosexual manner can expect to be at the very least, incarcerated and worse yet, to be murdered or executed with as much brutality as possible. None of the countries who subscribe to or allow homophobia or permit GLBTI persecution should be allowed to participate in the Commonwealth Games !

It is not too much of a stretch to suggest the Games organisers are complicite with this homophobia when they allow these countries to participate !
