So Australia's Ian Thorpe has finally come out and said that he is gay. People are throwing their support for him being so brave in coming out. But why? Who really cares if he is gay? Why the gay pride? Why is announcing you are gay so important that it is worth announcing to the world? Why do we have to have a gay pride march for? I am straight. I am interested in the opposite sex. I am not ashamed by this. Where is my parade? The straight pride march? Why does no one care about straight people? Why is coming out and announcing you are gay being applauded? I am not homophobic, I just don't care. Why does the world need to know someone's sexual choice of partners? Why do people feel the need to announce they are gay? Please explain... Jason, a decade or so ago, I was admiring his swimming skill and not once did I wonder which 'team' he batted for. I just didn't care, still don't care. Shame that such a personal choice is considered newsworthy...

If so what are his chances of becoming really competitive again in only 2 years? Which strokes and distances is he vying for?
