Paul Gascoigne is one of Britain’s most skilled soccer stars of all time. Last fall, his 23-year-old son, Regan, came out as bisexual in an interview with the Mirror.
Now, in an interview with The Mirror, Gascoigne recalls the private family moments after his son came out publicly to the world.
“He texted me the night before and I saw him on TV talking about it,” Gascoigne recounts. “I told him: ‘It doesn’t matter what you do son, I will support you 100%, you have to do what makes you happy.'”
“I thought ‘bless him’. To go on TV and do that is hard.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Gascoigne went on to praise Regan for his many talents, saying, “He is a professional dancer, he is a fit guy, and I am very proud of him.”
Speaking to the Mirror last November, Regan said, “I’m bisexual, I date men and women.”
“I haven’t told my dad, but I don’t think he will mind,” he added. “He is proud of me whatever I do and whatever decisions I make.”
It sounds like these two have a great relationship!

I didn’t realize someone came out of the closet as a bisexual. He’s only 23 though and most of us were bisexual then as well. Stepping stones and all.

I’m 65 and Bisexual. It may be “stepping stones” for some people but not for everyone, I take him at his word, he knows himself.

3.2.1…I’m gay.

I kind of get it. He’s young and it makes perfect sense. Saying you’re a bisexual doesn’t have nearly the same baggage and weight as just saying you’re gay.

His videos in Bali are beautiful.
Gay Thomas
But those DSLs…

It’s the 21st century. Move on.

Please explain why somebody coming out upsets you so much.
arnieca
he seems like quite a lovely talented boy. i read elsewhere he’s only dated 3 people, (that included both genders). i wish him well in love and life.

Please don’t call it soccer. The game is called football and Paul Gascoigne is a footballer.

No, we have enough untranslated Britishisms here as it is.
barryaksarben
goodlooking young man. I They just did a very detailed study and actually proved that there truly are BI people so all you gay guys who think it is just a dodge need to rethink your ideas.
rob67
He is good looking now but he has his father’s looks so we have to home he doesn’t look like he does now. Paul is so ugly and looks like a real thug. Stay away from the alcohol young man x

Well I never had an entire article devoted to me when I came out. Anyone else? How about the hoards of people that have put up ads on Grinder, Tinder and the million other dating apps?

A beautiful young man who is escaping a barrage of life-grinding obstacles by virtue of money, genes, and hedging one’s bets.
The bisexual thing is a human construct, not a scientific one.
Can we not agree that a dick makes a choice when it gets hard?

I had a friend who said he was bi. But hasn’t had sex with a female in years. I think he was joking about the bi part!
