He's not a public figure.

There have been many stars who have hid their sexual preference, I will not list any of the ones I know about, but sadly when the truth emerges it always causes pain.
I know of at least one professional person ho lived the lie, with wife & children, he also had a string of convictions for "Procuring for immoral purposes in a public place", gents toilets, his convictions ere public knowledge and they brought problems for the family.
He was a solicitor in the lawful sense so he knew full well his situation. I always felt sorry for his wife. MM

From a practical point of view the use of the word "gay" does something useful. For a significant portion of the population it is accurate and informative and helps people understand each other. My son is gay and as soon as he told us it made things fall into place and we were able to move forward. So the word helped. It gave us a sense of how he saw himself and where he thought he was going and we were able to give him the moral support he needed.
As for Schofield, his sexual orientation issues are his own business, and I have no views on it. I hate all the celeb stuff and celeb lives being documented, so I'd be happier if there were less of this in the news. But he has dragged his wife onto the TV screens in the past and made her part of his TV existence, so I suppose he has to explain how this relationship he has already documented has changed. It doesn't interest me but it will interest folk who have followed him on TV.

Is there a particular reason you write GAY in caps on your posts?
Not criticising just interested.

No we don't and as soon as we stop making such a big thing of peoples sexuality the better.
What a person is or does regarding their sexuality doesn't matter a jot. Judge people for how they behave and not because they're gay or any other variations of sexuality.
I think that reporting on a person's sexual orientation is a bad thing, it's a private matter and exposing someone as gay will only set the bigots off.
