It's sad that some people can't accept or empathise with Sam.

@Seathestars @OnlyBlueWillDo will no doubt give us some wisdon on this issue.

He can identify however he wants to, I still can’t stand him.

Must be my age, but I genuinely had no idea what " non binary " meant.

Now that I do, who cares.

This is the problem they want you to use they/them instead of he/him. Then it gets way too pretentious for me.

Just pondering as they is used for multiples surely we should call them it??? Argh you have to think about this way too much, I'm out.

Well... according to the latest diversity training, it is apparently deemed offensive to call them 'it' as it 'suggests' they're not a person.

Like you said, far too much thinking behind all this!

Indeed.
And it would be refreshing if an announcement like this came at an end of tour or after album/single release. I'm taking a hiatus when I come can you please refer to me as...

Ah yes those are plural pronouns.

Either is fine I'm fully embracing this new life.

“No matter whom we choose to love, be they heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, bisexual, trisexual, quadrisexual, pansexual, transexual, omnisexual or that thing where the chick ties the belt around your neck and tinkles on a ballon, it has absolutely nothing to do with who we are as people.”

" Well, I don't care what anybody is - I don't care whether they're gay, straight or Australian. It's what they're like as a person that matters."
