The British accept Tom Daley as only they can: sarcastic humor

First the comedians, now journalists and well everyone in Britain has taken to Twitter to show their support for Tom Daley coming out. It’s nice we live in a world where we can now make jokes and poke fun at the timing of the revelations, because we’re neither shocked or upset (except anyone who’d been hoping to be Tom Daley’s boyfriend).

I opened the second door on my advent calendar and Tom Daley came out. Seriously @TomDaley1994 congratulations. So happy for you.

I think Tom Daley is the best win for the homosexual agenda since Dumbledore.

Hey Yahoo. This is probably not the most appropriate way to report the Tom Daley story is it? pic.twitter.com/mxHlAdatel

Any man who can point his toes that well was never going to turn out straight. Well done, Tom Daley. We're all behind you, so to speak…

I think this tweeter might be hinting at something with Harry and Louis.

You can imagine Niall, Zayn and Liam shuffling in silence around Harry and Louis today. Zayn smoking outside the tour bus with a squint.
