When I was this man's age, I would not have dreamed of coming out; I was so far in the closet that I didn't know I was in it. He's come out to his family, his friends, and his rugby team in Wales. Keep a tissue handy. Tom is my Brick of the Day and I wish him every success.

I'll say it again: WHAT Welsh accent?????? He sounds a little Canadian ("a-boat"). And he draws out his Es ("val-eees"). But I really can't hear it.

And he's so adorable!
