I see that diver and Olympic medalist Tom Daley has announced on Youtube that he still fancies girls but that his current relationship is with a guy. Some say how brave of him, others ridicule but a totally different thought occured to me:
Why do we care?
I accept and agree that when a person is in a position that relies on their integrity, infidelity is a cause for concern, I also agree that in other aspects of a public figure's private life certain issues may be of relevance, their financial dealings for example, however, what relevance to any of us and indeed what business of ours is it who a public figure is dating or married to?
Tom Daley's sexuality or which public or private figure he may be in a relationship with has absolutely no bearing on his public position as a competitative diver.
The world of relality TV and Hello Magazine style publications has twisted the public psyche. Quite frankly I don't care, do you?
Should Putin's son start dating Clinton's daughter I might just reassess my position though.
