Gareth Thomas says he’s invited to the wedding of Prince William
Openly gay rugby player Gareth Thomas has tweeted that he has an invite to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.Need to buy a new hat? oops did i say that out loud. Yes I have had an invite to the royal wedding. have you?
Uh, no, our invite must have been lost in the mail. Fellow rugger Mark Bryant then challenged Thomas, tweeting: “Bullshit??!!” Replied Thomas: “No bullshit girlfriend..Will bring the proof tom.” To which Bryant retorted: “Sweet, I’ll be your date then!! Hahaha.” Guess some guys will go gay for royalty.
The Queen sent out 1,900 invitations to the April 29 to the likes of David Beckham, Elton John and various monarchs, but not President or Mrs. Obama. As the London Telegraph reports: “As the Prince is not yet heir to the throne, the wedding is not classed as a state occasion and protocol dictates that elected foreign leaders should not expect an invitation.
It is amazing how much Thomas’ life has changed in the 14 months since he came out. An invite to the royal wedding may be the topper. So much for the myth that it’s impossible for an openly gay pro male athlete to come out without facing nothing but dire consequences.
