The Pop Idol star says it would have crushed him to pose for staged photos with a pretend girlfriend at the height of his fame.

Young said it's particularly powerful that this message will be seen by both older and younger generations.

Young, who has been a gay rights activist, says he has spoken to former education ministers Michael Gove and Nicky Morgan on how to prevent homophobia in schools, but was left"hugely disappointed by their lack of focus and discipline".Young, who was educated at boarding school, says he didn't feel accepted or"normal" in the education system, and that for children that then translates to a feeling of lack of safety in wider society.

While Young recognises that"men liking men and women liking women is in the minority", he says it's refreshing that we can now have"an open dialogue about it in a very positive way, in an intelligent way."

Philip Schofield is about as shallow as you can get....a thespian who loves the cameras.....your comments are ridiculous Will....and I admire you immensely....you are really talented .....so please give us all a break re Miss Schofield...nothing whatsoever inspiring about him

Bollox. Outed before he was outed. Nothing to do with his sexuality, but he’s been cheating on his wife and kids. Yeah let’s celebrate. Absolute shite.

Many things inspire me but someone coming out as gay isn't one of them.😱

He was married to a woman for 27 years.

This is the chap who has been lying to his family, colleagues and friends for the past 30 odd years, right? I wonder what story they had on him? 👍

Yep his poor wife will be celebrating. All about him... Selfish

Bet he didn’t know the whole story before he praised him so much. Bet every ITV boss is wishing they could sack him now!

Oh, pleeeeeease spare us

Sorry but if he jumped before he was pushed it’s nothing to celebrate, it’s beginning to look like he’s had a dirty little secret for a few years and the dirty little secret was going to blab! schofe Schofield stormschofe

An inspiration? Yes, absolutely. Have the courage to be true to yourself. A celebration? Nonsense. Why celebrate lives tainted because he didn't feel comfortable opening up until now.

What?

What a load of Woke garbage.

Celebrate what ?

FFS

I would 'hold the front page' if i were you....

These comments are brilliant

At this day and age, coming out of the closet isn’t a reason celebrate or to be inspired by. Coming out as gay is so 20th century. At best he’s late.

Give it a rest jesus wept

willyoung needs to get out more. Can't we just tack Phillip Schofield's 'coming out' day onto the annual gay pride festivities and maybe have 'Heart Ripped Out of Your Chest Day' for all the partners who have been betrayed but are required to pretend that they are ok with it.

Oh, That’s brilliant Schofield ~ Why don’t you try to destroy a few more lives 🤔

Show working.

Can we make it a public holiday?

This is getting ridiculous...he’s not brave & it not a day to celebrate... for gods sake he’s just a gay presenter who’s watching his back... watch this space

Nobody gives a hoot anymore. We are what we are and nobody cares. It’s why we have rich diversity in this country.

Celebrate what. Let's have bank holiday.

Will Young just wants to get his name in the news

How's his Mrs and kids... All me me me me...

I'm a heterosexual man with 4 wives, celebrate me too while you're at it!

It’s Phillip fucking Schofield.

I honestly have no idea why this is even news worthy in this dayand age!

Sad for his wife he’s a happy fister sad for the gofer

Imagine wasting 27 years of another persons life because you were to scared to suck some dick and then be called a hero. This is hilarious

Adds 'Will Young' to Muted Words list, hideous geezer....🤔

If he’d been shagging about with another bird behind his wife’s back the lot would go up skynews, nice spin though. You’ll be destroying him in a month when the novelty has worn off

I thought he cans out as gay years ago to be honest

I’m guessing his wife does not share your enthusiasm or your tactless choice of words🤔🙀

Celebrate?.. What the fuck for. That he's a Homosexual, why do we even need to know. I got on a Bus this morning went to the Butchers and bought some Pork Sausages. There I've told you all.

No it’s not, do you really think we care if you are gay or not, stop trying to rub it in our faces.

I thought he was years ago....them tank tops were......a dead giveaway!!!

Who could have guessed? 🙄

Poor wife

Oh jeez. Next thing you'll be telling me grahnort is gay....

Ok I'll organise a street party because someone nobody cares about is gay🙄

Poor Phil!!! If I play the victim they’ll all still like me....

It would have been more of a surprise if Biggins or CliffRichard announced this, but no one can be shocked by philipschofield Has he a book to flog?

No WE don't.Its his business

I feel sorry for his wife. He took 27 years to tell her, that's the best years of her one and only life. And of course she will need to smile and be happy for him on camera because this society will crucify her otherwise. That poor woman.

throw a party etc sorry i feel for his wife and family and what he and they decide to do has nothing to do with anyone but them.Just because he is a public figure doesn't mean he shouldn't have a private life. philipschofield

I think we all need to understand that he’s spent most of his life on tv. We all know him, so it’s much bigger for him to come out. Fair play to Phillip. Nobody should think anything different of him. Well done, Phill.

No we don't, it's not important, get get on with your life and stop the attention seeking

Ok he’s gay and Who gives a f*ck...I want to talk about he’s wife that he lied too for 27 years..

Oh please, we need to leave him and his family alone now. To work this out. We have no idea when his wife knew but sounds like she’s supportive. His/her life. When Schofe started his career and young adult life it was a very different world. Nobody should be judging.

And pray for his family

Bless him must have been a struggle and emotionally battle

Dear Will Young.....

Another celebrity that will latch on to this to get some publicity of their own.

It isn't even news. No one cares. And that's great.

Why?

Or we could just ignore it because it's not a big deal and nobody really cares

Can we get real news, let him live his life and respect him

Where will head to celebrate this evening LaughlinPadge

Why?

😢

Think he could have quietly got divorced first and kept it in family. No one cares about his sexuality or who he has a relationship with going forward.

willyoung Why? It's his business. Yours is yours. Mine is mine. My neighbours budgie is my neighours budgie's.....

It’s like Michael Barrymore all over again.....

Why? What has anyone's sexuality got to do with other people? Just attention seeking narcissism supported by faux friends, sycophants & PC virtue signallers. It is the 21st century & most people outside your over indulgent over privileged 'Global Elitarchy' are too busy to care

What ever you are or do we will still love you for who you are a truly amazing guy and nothing will change because your gay xx

Who has he had sex with? Who is going to come out Sunday newspaper?

You celebrate. Just keep it off our tv screens. It’s a private matter surely. Not a an issue of national importance.

Why is this national/international news Crazy! - a person’s sexual preferences are their own private matter. Coming out ‘into the spotlight’ turns this issue into a public circus when humans are infact sexually ambivalent by nature & love is what matters
