TQR 13,936 Posted July 15 2 hours ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: Ralf Schumacher announces he's in a same sex relationship It's obviously teriffic that Ralf has reached a point where he feels comfortable enough to share this publicly, but already I'm seeing people on SM ramping up rumours about potentially queer current F1 drivers. That kind of wild speculation and eagerness to try outing them is exactly why so many LGBT+ people in the public eye feel they must stay closeted. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That kind of wild speculation and eagerness to try outing them is exactly why so many LGBT+ people in the public eye feel they must stay closeted. That's what happened to Mike Beuttler (1970s driver, in the period where F1 was a symbol of machismo.). He would bring girls to races with him to avoid speculation. He disappeared off public life because of HIV/AIDS (which eventually killed him) and the stigma that surrounded it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
