He actually continued playing for a few years after coming out, and now supports other athletes from various sports who want to come out. Rugby is THE masculine sport here - so it was quite ground-breaking when he came out!<br /><br />Canterbury Tales is on my TBR - but then, so is pretty much everything else!Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-19227189624932812822016-11-19T09:35:32.261+00:002016-11-19T09:35:32.261+00:00Ha, me too! :)Ha, me too! :)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-4080068130689376832016-11-19T01:02:57.616+00:002016-11-19T01:02:57.616+00:00Ohhh!

So I had no idea Sarah Waters was Welsh either, but now she's being bumped up the TBR. I wish I was a Cardiffian...it's such a cool word to say too. (I have no idea what I'm saying. I'm so tired.)Ely @ Tea & Titleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573679288056352126noreply@blogger.com
