Happen to be working in Dublin at the moment and caught this interview a few nights ago. I indorse everything that rickT5555 and others have written although MimiButtimer I know what you meant but it is nature's choice that he is gay not his own. I wish him all the very best in his career now and the future after the game is over. Big kudo's also to Ryan Tubridy for his part in making this such a 'normal, natural' interview. Bravo.
I can hardly think of a better way to help demolish some of the old gay stereotypes people have in their minds then for a star Irish hurler to come out as gay. Will it confuse some heteros? Sure it will, but so what? Hopefully it will teach them the lesson that gay people are everywhere--even, most likely, within their own families.
@chatsworth1buccaneer You know what else is "unnatural"? The computer you typed that comment on. Synthetic plastic and refined metals, electrical fuses and copper wires, all man made and mass produced in gigantic factories. It is anything but natural but you seem to have no problem with them.
God,great attitude..Think Germany had someone like you in the late 1930's...If he were straight what difference would it make to your life?...Grow up,it's 2012..Lead your own life,it's none of your business
Honest, to the point, and unashamed. A HUGE step forward for Ireland.
Bless you Donal Og - people like you pave the way for the rest of us. I greatly admire your strength and courage.
Love Donal Óg he is a savage hurler, and fair play to him for coming out.
