#mr simmonds

😁

🥺 He's learning. Mr Simmonds is actually embracing his faults and trying to be better for his son and I- 🥺

Mr Simmonds we understand that took a lot for you to be able to say that but Dillon deserves more than a generic response so I hope you sit down and talk to him at home (SPOILERS: dillon came home)

And then we see Mr Simmonds' fear of being different which shouts big tory energy to me 👀 dunno about you lot

It's not that I don't agree with the point in itself because being LGBTQ+ in sports, football specifically, is basically unheard of - especially in Mens Football

Being an avid football fan (red devils if you were wondering 💪), I understand the stigma behind players being afraid to come out due to the backlash (from the media and fans) it will create to not only the clubs they play for but for their teammates and their families: Dillon's father's fears are reasonable but he's doing the wrong thing but pressuring Dillon into faking it - just when Dillon himself has just come to terms with it himself, mind you

Telling him his career would end before its even started if he let everyone know about his sexuality is terrible! What kind of father would tell their kids that their only choice is to not be themselves and have a great and successful career or be out and proud but jobless! * breathe * Mr Simmonds is a right tosser there and him demotivating Dillon is immoral and cowardly 😑

Sorry and thank you for listening to my TedTalk 🐢

wow. 🥺

👏👏👏👏

It isn't necessarily, but that only comes to play when Dillon can be in a safe environment where he knows he can be accepted for who he is - that can't happen if you force him into the closet when he wants to be out and accepted
