Sam Fricker

I’ll be surprised if this guy doesn’t come out at some stage.

I wonder if the concept of "coming out" applies to Sam. He'd be born in the early 2000s, and would have been a teen in 2015 ish. My view is that if he's gay, he's gay. There will be no "coming out" party. He'd just appear one day with a boyfriend.

It's kind of like getting covid in April 2020. You'd hide it and people would be so sympathetic and over the top cautious on the topic. If you got covid in 2022 (which I did), the general reaction was "oh ok... ".
 
Just get that vibe from his content is all.

Like Tom Daley and Ian Thorpe - no one was shocked when they turned out to be gay.

I take the point that he’s got a GF, but so did a lot of gay guys at his age when they’re still coming to terms with their sexuality.

Nothing wrong with it either way. Just some idle speculation on my part.

He seems like a really nice guy.

I'd agree. Maybe if he was born in Trump country he would still feel the need to hide but someone his age in Australia should be very liberated and not feel any pressures or taboos about just being themselves.
