To be fair, if LH is secretly gay, he's possibly overcompensating with this:

I've never seen anything in the press (I'm guessing red tops rather than The Guardian) about LH being gay, but I've always kind of assumed he was (or maybe bi)

It doesn't matter AT ALL (of course)

Indeed, maybe more respect due if he came out now rather than after retirement.

Nice gesture on the Silverstone/BRDC side, he genuinely seemed a bit choked up so it must have been a surprise. He does appear to still be suffering from the after effects of Covid, at least as reported by Benson today. Heavy dose from those laydeez!

Ummm, why?

The only partners I've ever heard of him being in a relationship with are female, so I think I'll stick with the assumption that he's straight until he tells us otherwise. Any other assumption makes no sense whatsoever, and I'd love to know why you've defaulted to something other than what you've seen given you say you've never seen anything in the press?

Hes not gay, the only prick he loves is himself.

I wouldn’t say respect, coming out is a big decision and it’s up to the person when they feel ready. It would be good to see more pro sports men coming out while they’re competing in general though. It’s one of the places where the stigma around being lgbt+ is still quite high. It doesn’t seem to be as bad in women’s sport.

Exactly. It is of fuck all consequence to anyone else.

To quote Marty Crane "sex is between you and the person you're doing it to". 😂

Surely in this case it’s “between you and the person you’re taking it from”

Anyway Hamilton has never struck me as being gay, he had a phase of going through a female superstar every few weeks at one point.
How about not having a sig at all?

Edit - also I reckon his personal trainer - Angela is his fuck buddy.

You’re right on a personal level of course.

However, we live in a world where the majority will assume that someone is cis-het unless expressly told otherwise. This leads to a situation where some people either feel like they have to keep who they are a secret or feel pressured to come out before they’re ready.

Having someone they look up to come out can help them see that it’s possible. Obviously this puts famous people in the position of possibly being role models which they might not want. Which is why I understand people not wanting to come out until they’re not in the news anymore.

It’s all a bit of a minefield tbh.

I’m not interested in outing Lewis Hamilton. I was just giving an opinion based on experience :lol:

You identify as the gender you were born with and you’re attracted to the opposite sex, so not transgender and straight
