Thorpie’s management company are continuing their “He’s Not Gay, We Swear!” campaign. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. To be honest, I think Ian’s cred would increase ten-fold were he homosexual.
In any case, it’d be a definite improvement from the Ian-Thorpe-Who-May-Have-Gotten-Frisky-With-Paris-Hilton- See-He’s-Not-Gay. Or the Ian-Thorpe-Who-Fancies-Jessica-Simpson-See- He’s-Not-Gay. Let’s not even get started on Ian-Thorpe-Who-Is-A-Metrosexual-Which-Means-No-Bumsexing-Cos-He’s-Straight-And-Not-Gay.
Throwing a tanty over this artwork has merely given the artists excess publicity, thus bringing the Thorpedo’s questioned sexuality back into the spotlight so it’s all a bit silly, isn’t it? Honestly Ian, don’t become the Tom Cruise of the swimming world. Erm, and I mean that in the litigation-happy sense and not the closeted sense. (Patrick - get the solicitors on the phone… what? We don’t have any? Bugger.)
I must ask though - how many teenage girls do you know with posters of Nicole Kidman on their walls, and photos of Ian Thorpe with the word “GAY” written above his head? I sniff a shameless grab for publicity.

Each morning after his swim training and Uncle Toby's "Sawdust Snacks" peddling, Ian dons a blonde wig and high heels and heads off to Channel 7 for further television commitments. Thorpe's hillarious drag-act Johanna Griggs fools few people but how he manages to get his voice so deep for the character is a mystery to many!

I hereby wish for it to be known that I resent such hideous accusations, and that any further efforts to discredit my masculine yet not-in-a-suss-kinda-way character shall be met with the brutal, thrusting force of my legal counsel. And his cute assistant Bryce.
Yours, Ian "Molly" Thorpe

i think you have built up an infactuation with Ian Thrope and if i was him i would be very scared. anyone who calls themselves Ian "Molly" Thorpe should be very worried about their mental and social well being. Ian Thorpe is in no doubts gay. any male whos metrosexual is simply saying their gay. its a cover up. Australia needs to wake and up and smell the fags.

I'm sure most Australians would love to, except smoking has pretty much been banned everywhere nowdays. Restaurants, work places, children's wards... it's an absolute disgrace!
However if any Sydney-siders feel an overwhelming need to wake up and "smell the fags" they are more than welcome to meet me around 6:49am on the Pacific Hwy, Artarmon where I'll be frantically getting in a morning cigarette before hopping on the bus.

What the fuck are you babbling about?

Gay or not, Ian Thorpe is hot. He's really sexy. he looks really nice in his underwear too. he has a great ass. but anyways, I live in Canada and swim, and was so close to making the olympics this year! yet I just missed making the qualifying time this year in the 100 fly, so I'll have to train really hard to make the olympics in 4 years! But it's my life long goal to meet Ian Thorpe so i can marry him and make lots of little Thorpedo babies to swim fast like him!

If you don't know who Ian Thrope is , your a ree ree. And I qoute myself when I say " HE's gay, because being that hot, you would have to be getting sum ass." I bet he likes black chicks.
Posted by: Nicole | August 22, 2004 1:58 PM
How can he be gay and like black chicks? You seem to have contradicted yourself. Please re-think what you are saying then re-post it. ok? Thanks.

my friend in pr swears ian thorpes management are planning for him to come out after the olympics. he is so faggy I can't believe he can pretend to be into women. maybe he does their hair for them butt he aint making love to them.

Thorpey-poo may be "faggy" as you say (although I prefer to say he's in touch with his inner Carson) but he's still a winner, and that's important to remember.
Regardless of whether Ian Thorpe's presumably large wang explores the darkest corners of the poontang or bungvalley, he's still a hero to me. Sniffle. I just WISH he was gay so sports-mad blokes could have to come to terms with a homosexual sporting champion.
I also want to mention that I heard Ian Thorpe interviewed on radio and he was very funny. Doesn't take himself too seriously, unlike other athletes.
PS: Anyone else find it hilarious his supposed girlfriend is a swimmer called Amanda Beard? Beard? It's too perfect!
Posted by: Jess | August 30, 2004 4:27 PM
Sure it wasn't Amanda Hugankiss?
Posted by: Patrick | August 30, 2004 4:56 PM
The net is rampant with rumors to this effect, but I have yet to see anyone with first hand knowledge (one way or the other) come forward. Anyone have any photos of him with dates (male or female?)
Is it possible he just isn't sleeping with anyone at all? Or never has?
Regardless, he seems like a classy guy and he's done Australia proud.
On a side note, I speak from experience when I say that even "civilians" get this label unfairly. I am a pretty, tall, blonde female who spent her 20s wrapped up in a career in sports promotion that caused me to travel constantly. As a result, I had no serious boyfriend during the majority of my 20s. I was pretty depressed about it, and what made it worse was the speculation that I might be gay by friends and family members. Why? Because I guess I wasn't sleeping with enough folks to justify any other explanation.
For the sake of argument, consider this: I'm no olympian, my life is not under a microscope, and I haven't been hounded by the press since I was a teenager. Yet people still whispered similar things about me. And it was fairly devistating. Not exactly a confidence booster. If he is straight too, imagine what it must be like for him?
Unless there is some evidence beyond the clothes he wears or his lack of machismo, why not leave the poor kid alone?

I agree to that. He's good he wins he's fast... hey most people dont even come close to what hes done so how about u just keep living your own lives and stop debating whether someone is gay or not what difference does it make anyway
