https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51414010 - Pretty brave decision to make to be fair. Have met him several times over the years and he's a top human being. My girlfriend's brother made a very similar decision after about the same time and was in a very powerful public position. In the end was the best decision he made and over time everyone got used to it. It took my girlfriend quite a few years to get her head around it but she's now very happy for him because he's just been honest to himself. Tough on Phillip's family but I suspect they have known for a very long time this day would come and for the sake of your mental health and those around you you have to make these decisions, especially if you are in the public eye. Good luck to him. People shouldn't spend their lives hiding. Whether you agree with their decisions or not. |  |

**Dinosaur alert**
I don't get this. Is he saying that he has realised that he is gay, but has not yet "practised" being gay, or is he saying that he has had gay relationships all the way through his marriage?
If the former, absolutely something to be applauded, but if the latter, what's the difference between being unfaithful to your spouse with a man or a woman? If he has been unfaithful, then why is everyone supporting him and telling him how brave he is; I wouldn't put infidelity up as a virtue; quite the opposite. Yes, it must be an incredibly difficult position to be in, but is realising that you are gay any different from realising that you love someone or something else more than your spouse? Surely, the brave thing to have done would have been to be upfront and honest with his family before he was unfaithful (assuming that he has acted on his feelings)?
Hope that everyone involved (including Pip and Gordon the Gopher) finds their own peace and solace following the pain this has and will undoubtedly cause. |  |

My best friend's husband came out as gay after 23 years of marriage.
They get on ok and he has now got a male partner.
But she is very very hurt, can't trust another man and left in limbo.
Agree with davman.
There is little doubt that my friend's husband deceived and betrayed her and I do think this of Schofield.
Nothing to celebrate. [Post edited 7 Feb 2020 11:29]

Must be quite hard for his daughters, went to school with a bloke who married has 4 kids and is now married to a bloke and running a cafe in southsea, it’s probably down to the fact that he was hiding his feelings due to the abuse and lack of understanding that was prevalent in the 80’s.
I do feel that he has betrayed and lied to his wife but he obviously talked to his family before going public and once it’s all calmed down she will probably be relieved that she isn’t living in a sham marriage. |  |

Breaking News - Not!
regarding the timing, maybe he feels its right now as his daughters are grown up so less traumatic to deal with. The Sceptic in me thinks perhaps Gordon was about to spill the beans
Meh . far more important issues around for the world to be involved in |  | | |

Ditto.
Mock surprise from everyone. Right up there with George Michael coming out. Biggest non news news story.
Schofields wife has known all along apparently so why now? More to this than meets the eye.
Great publicity though innit. Ratings for that god awful show will go through the roof. |  | | |

It is best all round that he's made this decision and hopefully the family have had a decent spell before today to come to terms with it as they'll have plenty scrutiny to cope with on top of how they handle it on a personal level.
With the latest negative press towards him it does make you wonder if this is preempting a kiss and tell or just an expose by someone spilling the beans? |  | | |

In this day and age Schofield coming out as gay is neither surprising nor newsworthy. Cheating his wife is and those celebrating Phil coming out are rubbing salt in her wounds. [Post edited 9 Feb 2020 0:34]

Remember being in an Ealing restaurant back in the late 80's/early 90's, his party made up of BBC luvvies was sat a couple of tables away from mine.
"Honest Phil" was so obviously bowling from the pavillion end - thirty years later he "comes out". Must have been tough for him all that time.
Tough for his family too. |  | | |

Really?
For what it’s worth, if that’s his feelings then so be it, and all the best to him. I’m sorry his family have been dragged through this publicly though.
With any of these celebrity announcements, I always think there is a story either just about to happen. Maybe I’m cynical but there you go. | | | |
