Tom Daley Has Graduated From Bisexual to Now ALL Gay-All in One Year
Are there true bisexuals out there? Sure just like there are true cannivals living amongst us. But just like cannivals is a small percentage, a lot less that those that say they are. Why then so many of us categorize them selves bi instead of gay. The reason is not complicated. For some it’s easier because it was hard enough to admit not being straight to ourselves and others. It took me about 3 yrs to go from bisexual to homosexual even though I was only having sex with men. The thing is I wasn’t sure. I thought I could still turn back. That’s one of the reasons. It’s easier to go with bi instead of taking ownership for whom we are. It’s easier to give the impression that we are sophisticated because we can hit both sexes.Others like to once in a while be with a women but prefer guys. On the other hand, some Prefer being with a woman but will stray once in a while and enjoy the things they can do with another man just like them, a buddy that will go all the way; ‘A real buddy.’
Contrary to his coming out video last year where he said he still fancied girls, Tom Daley has admitted that he isn't bisexual at all, declaring 'I am a gay man now'.
Speaking on ITV2's Celebrity Juice the 19-year-old Olympic medalist also said his relationship with 39-year-old Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black is 'all good'.
Tom added though that he was ‘terrified' of revealing his sexuality initially and that he told his family before going on YouTube where he effectively broadcast his own coming out video.

When it comes to other big name celebrities staying in the closet, Tom said: 'we don't all sit down and write down each other's names - it's not like the AA+.'
In fact Tom believes that it really should not matter what your sexuality is and that no one should care. He added that people should also basically mind their own business.
Since Tom's coming out on YouTube five months ago his popularity has skyrocketed and he's now signed a deal to host a travel series for ITV2, as well as being the face of Adidas' Neo range for men hat is reportedly earning him a cool £300,000.
