Gareth Thomas: coming out was 'scariest moment of my life' | Channel 4 News 

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Mr Showbiz

A beautiful man and human being. I know the pain and am grateful for your courage.

Gareth Thomas motivated me to come out as a very proud gay man

Gareth, I was really touched by your story. Your courage, the pain you lived through, the solid way you faced up to things. I lived a similar life -- without the public scrutiny and acclaim. You are my hero. Keep doing your thing. I love you, man! Daniel Grzywacz

Split views here. I absolutely want someone to live and love fully. It’s to be human. But there’s also a former wife/woman here whose life was destroyed, cheated on and whose health may have been put in jeopardy (multiple casual partners). I believe since, there’s also a man who has had his life destroyed by contracting an incurable illness - when one party knew they carried it. I see being gay as just one facet of a human. It’s no more interesting to me whether a person is Welsh, English, Irish or Scottish. It’s not a virtue. It’s just how you’re programmed.

Father you are the great physician who promised that you will place none of these diseases upon us. You are our healer, you are our deliverer, you are our way maker. You are our miracle worker. You said in Isaiah 53:5 that you are wounded for our transgression, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with your stripe, we are healed. Father we decree and declare according to 3rd John Chapter 1:2, ” Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers”. Father I know that thou want me to be healthy. I know you want me to be happy, I know you want me healed, I know you want me to prosper, I know you want me to succeed, I know you want me to walk in optimum health. I know that you want me to live without pain, without hurt, without stress. I know that you want me to live disease free, sickness free, stress free, and therefore I decree and declare according to your word I am healthy and physically fit. Sickness and disease are far from me by your stripes I am healed. I am healed from every physical, physiological, biochemical, bioelectrical malfunction, from emotional wounds, psychological illnesses, from physical discomfort, from sickness and diseases. I speak Jeremiah 17:14-15 over my life. Heal me oh Lord and I shall be healed, save me and I shall be saved for thou art my praise. Behold they say unto me, where is the word of the lord? Let it come near. You sent your word to heal us from all our diseases. You word is ny unto me this day.According to Psalm 107:20, I declare that I am healed by the word of the Lord. I speak to every part of my body, be healed. Spirit of infirmity, loose your hold over my life and the life of my loved ones. Let the fountains of infirmity, affliction, discomfort and pain, dry up now! Let poison and and toxins dry our of every part of my body now. Neutralize the negative effects of viruses and bacteria, drugs and medical treatment now! I decree and declare that any and all physiological, biochemical, hormonal, neurological, organic, systemic, cellular or molecular damage sustained from stress, exhaustion, medication, pharmaceuticals, drugs, medical treatment, X-ray, chemo-radiation therapy, monoclonal antibodies, etc. It is reversed now!I speak health and healing over my cells, my organs and systems. I speak healing to my glands, I speak health and healing over my mind. I speak health and healing over my body. I speak that my brain is healed (3:31min).

Really? - "the first and only international rugby player, ever do have done so" - not true. Australian Rugby League test player Ian Roberts did so in 1995, he came out openly as gay to a gay magazine while still playing. He is one of the very few players from a major world team sport to come out publicly while active.

i am from beeston greatest hockey team the world has ever seen established 1907 where CP walker was established 1896.

اbathy man

Gareth, you're a beautiful human being. Stay safe and strong. Here for you❤❤❤ March 2023. You're not weak nor frail. No blame no shame ever❤❤❤xxxxxxx. March 2023

He is a bit of a bell end. Nothing to do with the coming out etc. He just has a massive ego. Watch his interview with Ed Butler.

A brilliant lion and Welsh nation player his sexuality does not matter,i am English/str8 and proud.F,em boyo be yourself,we love you!

greatest of all time forever.

so, cheating on your wife and having sex with random men, is inspirational?? it's disgusting how he broke his wife's heart! Cheating is cheating! The lady is the one that deserves all the sympathy and support.

He's a fantastic Person !!

So a dentist will rebuild your front teeth for free when you are a star.. but when you are poor?

respect from england.

Crusaders Rugby League.

Good on him.

I am baffled. If he was gay then why did he marry a woman?

What an amazing man, I went to see the play in Cardiff last week and it was so emotional

Handsome man

He's gay? I had no idea, he never mentions it 🙄

There should be a Gareth Thomas movie. It would be an interesting watch. It would need to support gay people. I support equal rights for gay and lesbian people.

Great story.

Only came here to see if I became a chocolate chimney sweep I could get my teeth done for f**k all.

a likable guy good luck to him!

Repent brother while you can...

A lot of professional sportsman go on to have lucrative careers in punditry / ambassador's roles. In Wales they come out as gay, which seems to be equally as lucrative. Gareth Thomas has shown how much a venereal disease can boost the profile to maintain relevance.
