Funny how an undoubtedly modern and open-minded reporter can begin by quoting Ian Thorpe on saying that he doesn’t like people writing about his private life, and then go on writing about his private life. It reminds me of when people are being loud about being more tolerant than others, not understanding that by doing this, they are being exactly the opposite. I myself struggle with homophobia, feeling slightly perverted by not being able to rent Brokeback Mountain in public :-P
