Are all of you familiar with Olympic medalist Tom Daley?

I think we all like to support Olympic medalists from any nation, especially if they are gay.

Olympic diver from England, about 20 years old now. He was 14 when he went to the Olympics in 2008, and was 18 in 2012, still a major award-winning athlete.

Here's an interesting 12 minute video to capture his attitude and skill and sense of humor all in one.

He's a millenial, with his own Youtube channel, and a rather impressive figure in UK television, too, staring on a BBC show, "Splash" where divers of all ages live out their dream and learn to dive and compete.

Like this one:

And recently, he came out , of course, on Youtube

Or did I see this first from a link here on DU?

If so, feel free to lock this thread, I just thought this young man is pretty brave and out there.
Just some weekend eye candy for the guys, I guess. And he has a lover, an American, a lot older than him.
