Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins: Gareth Thomas details abuse he gets for being gay and HIV positive
Former Welsh rugby player has detailed the abuse he has received for being gay and having HIV.
The 49-year-old revealed some of the awful comments he has received over his sexuality on Sunday night’s episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Gareth was chosen for a one-on-one chat with the course instructors and interviewed about his mindset. Opening up, he revealed how he has been “subjected to s*** all his life” but says he “still refuses to be the victim”.
He told how he remembers hearing crowds of rugby fans chanting that he was a “f*****”, while people still move away from him in restaurants as they believe they could get HIV from him.
