OLYMPIC DIVER TOM DALEY COMES OUT

British Olympic diver Tom Daley revealed in a YouTube video today that "I still fancy girls, but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier."

Daley said he met a man this spring and something "just clicked, it felt right." He opted to post a YouTube video because "I didn't want to get my words twisted, I wanted to put an end to all the rumors and speculation."

London's Mirror had reported in an interview in September that Daley had said, “I think it’s funny when people say I’m gay ... I laugh it off.” The 19-year-old Olympic diver had said, “I’m not. But even if I was, I wouldn’t be ashamed."

In his YouTube video, Daley referred to an interview without naming the media outlet.

"Recently I was misquoted in an interview, and it made me feel really angry and frustrated and emotions I have never felt before when reading something about myself," he said. "For me, honesty is something that I really do believe in. And I have always been honest. I may have been vague in some of my answers but I have always been honest."

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Daley won the bronze medal for the United Kingdom in the individual competition. He's now training to compete for his country in Rio in 2016.
