Tom makes a very valid point. Why are international events held in nations where human rights are not valued? Why are we even asking this question in 2021?
With the latest bill in Parliament, the UK would be excluded if countries that did not respect human rights were excluded
@@kensurridge9631 - I’m Dutch and curious 🤨 Please elaborate ?
@@louisdewit4429 my daughter is Dutch. Countries that join the EU must meet what are referred to as the Copenhagen criteria. The UK no longer meets these in several areas including human rights
@@kensurridge9631 - You mean for instance the blocking of free speech by government institutions by if necessary illegal prosecution on false terms and harassment of the individual by the legal system and if that doesn’t work just locking them up after court cases behind closed doors like a Melanie Shaw or Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ?
This happens in the Netherlands as well. Democracy and human rights only exist on paper and by the allowance of those in power. And yes 👍 do they want to hold on. Served by the msm.
@@kensurridge9631 That sounds like wind and p**s... if you're going to make statements like that then be precise and give concrete examples.
The interviewer is really good -he doesn't talk over his guests like others do and listens to his guests, letting them speak.
He's not American.
I, being an older gay gentleman, am so proud of this young, gay man. He is smart, socially aware and a great representative for the younger gay community. If most of the gay younger are like him, we are going in the right direction. Kudos, young man.
Been watching his career since he was 16 yrs old. Amazed and not surprised he's come so far in career and journey as an out and proud gay man. Str8 people don't realize we have to "come out" every day when we don't hide ourselves behind the artificial walls. But doing so publicly to the whole world as a Gold medal winning Olympic athlete - that's courage!
Greg Louganis plowed the road so that Tom Daley could walk down it. Let us never forget that.
Actually, when he came out he was not yet an Olympic gold medal winner… medal winner yes, and some of them gold, but not Olympic. But, your point is well taken all the same.
I'm so proud of him. He has become a great role model for a successful coming out not only for athletes but for anyone who might be struggle. I'm so glad he's sharing his amazing family life with us on RUclips and he's always so kind and simply adorable. Love him
@@ZakhadWOW yes but became out after he finished his carrier. Its little different
Excellent remarks, he is shining , he is indeed free!
Great Job Tom! Thanks for shedding a light on how difficult the LGBT community still have it!! You are a great role model for the 'community'!! You make the UK, and the world very proud of you!!!! CONGRATS on all your success!!
I agree, I'm a proud straight guy and I'm equally proud of Tom, he is the best of British, Nice genuine man and at the top of his game as in an athlete
Interesting how you haven't added the Q+ to this.
Beautiful Tom
He's so incredible brave. The way he fights for the human rights of our community is just great.
Just love this guy. Such a treasure. Nothing but good wishes for you Tom.
BOTH Tom and Host were fantastic!!! Awesome job guys...this is how an interview should go. Respectful, fun, comfortable, welcoming, understanding, great communication and a positive delivery🙏🙏👍👍👏👏🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tom, the photo with your beautiful tears (though the mask was too small) had turned me into your fan. Congratulations once again to your gold medal!
The ludicrous moron-mask represents the most sickeningly grotesque form of virtue-signaling , kabuki theater nonsense ever concocted
@@manofiske3318 u ok ?
@@manofiske3318 ????
@@manofiske3318 It has nothing to do with kabuki theatres btw.
I don't care if he's gay or not he is a great athlete and seems a nice guy, best of British👍
As always Skavlan never disappoints. Intelligent, thoughtful, respectful, kind, considerate and balanced interview in a short time slot. Bravo.
Congratulations Tom for your Olympic Success and for your courage and candid opinions.
Maybe Tom did lose some sponsorship?? but that is their loss because you cannot buy integrity or self respect and that is what Tom Daley has in spades. Pleased that he acknowledged extraordinary Greg Louganis who had a much harder time but helped pave the way for young Queer athletes.
What does someone's sexuality have at all to do with an athlete's results ?
As Tom says so well. It shouldn't matter. Nobody is asking for anything more.
Excellent interview! Tom is so charming and the interviewer asked great questions and had a great sense of humor!
That was a great interview with an amazing man, Tom Daley. Thank you.
INSPIRING interview! thank you, Tom, for sharing your experiences with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely one of the BEST interviews with Tom Daley...thank you sweetheart for giving so much support to our community. Youve come a long way as I have been with you since your coming out days and you young man I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! We are so lucky to have you here with us and CONGRATS on all your achievements thus far...WE LOVE YOU TOM❤XX
What I like about Tom is he is both a sweet and genuinely nice person AND someone who is not afraid to advocate and speak his mind.
When you talk the truth and common sense everything comes easily.
Great interview, and a very talented athlete!
Tom is from the second you look into his eyes so expressive and he always seems to carry a smile with him. I discovered him in the series he posted with his other half. They are hilarious together!!! He clearly defined the prejudices & possible harm the LGBTQ community could & has encountered. I also admire how he corrected the interviewer on his husband's occupation. Not a script writer !!!! He is much more and Dustin is much more.
One of my parents (married in 1940) bridge partner friends spent part of WW2 in a German POW camp. He told us all the guys knew how to knit. He laughed that that was part of camp life never shown in the great war movies. But everyone in those camps was making or mending warm socks. Glad tom Daley is honoring that venerable and productive pasttime
In the army they teach you how to sow and knit. It's part of looking after your kit.
Great interview, as usual, Skavlan!
How nice to watch Tom Daley, being so proud of what he has done along the way of sports, particularly because he is indeed a role model for the LGBTQ community. Well done Tom. Keep it up and carry on for more success to come.
World Champion and Olympic champion all before the age of 20 !
Great interview! The host was really gracious and love how he asked very significant and important questions with tact and delicacy. Kudos to you. And well done, Tom. You always give very thoughtful and intellectual answers. ❤
Greetings from the Great White North🇨🇦
What a excellent interview the host is spot on and Tom is so chill.
Nothing easy about being gay.
Bravo! Thoughtful, kind, and COURAGEOUS! Tom's the best!
Tom Daley is everyone’s treasure 🥰 Lovely interview, again, Fredrik
What a lovely guy ... and a fantastic interview.
You are a great interviewer.
9:40 wise words. Not asking for any privilege just the right to be. To live. Period. I completely agree with Tom those countries shouldn't be allow to host events like this.
Tom is a gem 💎
Excellent interview with so many questions that I've had at the back of my mind.
Aa a British woman very proud of Tom and lovely interview
THANKS SKAVIAN / 3 GREAT INTERVIEWS
Tom is an amazing young man , and I'm so proud of him 🤗, he stands up for human rights.... full stop ✋.
Plus he's gorgeous. Stay safe stay well everyone x
Just absolutely brilliant and gorgeous Tom. Once again memorable, encouraging inspirational words. Empowering people 🤗💕 xx that’s you and hubby Lance too of course. You both have wonderful words that empower enabling people to believe in themselves. Thank you 😊
He's such a genuine human and respectful and courteous and amazing!
I love Tom Daley, you're one of the brightest person and he's so wise for a young man. It's as if we was 12 yr old yesterday he's grown and matured up so well. :D
Superb as always from both of you.❤️
He is charming . So is lance they both seem to be so down to earth ppl.
Great interview. All the pertinent questions asked in a respectful sensible not too intrusive way.
Sometimes, it can be discrimination to not ask certain questions. Or just to consider any topic as tabu.
Loved every moment!!!
Winnie Wallace.. Tom, you're blessed to have the wonderful Lance in your life. You guys are simply terrific.
Oh My God! What a wonderful and charming , handsome , sweet and open athlete, Olympian Champion! First time I have really paid attention. The Holiday Season is here, I want to wish you, Lance and your son all the very best life, God can give. You are a giant of a human being, being gay ( I am too) is a fraction of who we are. Truth is we are for one reason or another more in tune with our surroundings and we appreciate what we have as what we are missing. All the best, you make people gay or straight bigger, you are tearing down barriers with your candor and demeanor!
He is not the first nor will he be the last to come out. Leave him alone already!!
I love how Skavlan is more interested in the DIY knit pouch that the Olympic medals! Haha I love it..
Holy cow! I'm totally enjoying this interview. - Just beautiful!
Not only is he an amazing athlete, husband and father; he's very well spoken.
Good man, calling out Qatar.
Should have fired all management and definitely should boycott events. Stand up for what you believe in Tom.
Tom was delightful! What an interesting hobby he found to kill time
"was warmed against coming out as gay"
Aren't we all....
He's a famous person, there's a big difference!! The public will judge him more.
All though m not LGBT.
@@johnkim6574 There's no difference how famous you are. Bigots will always fling shite at ye.
@@lillywho i mean yeah you're partially right/ bigots will be shitty but him and his husband got death threats when they announced they were gonna be parents/ that wouldn't have happened if he wasn't famous/ russian state tv was really vile too this summer cause of him being so visable at the olympics/
@@rosepetal34 So are people on the streets in bigoted neighbourhoods when you're openly together.
"Not mixing sport and politics" is a disingenuous lie. As a Brit watching this I was impressed by the interviewer's straightforward and direct approach and his eschewing cheap jokes.
You inspire me to be a better person and parent ❤️👌💕
This is for the lovely Lance. That you for. making
Tom the happiest he’s ever been, for making him feel safe,and most of all making each other so so wonderful with your beautiful little boy marriage is everything I believe.🌹🇬🇧🙋♀️
Wonderful interview. Interesting questions and Tom is so well spoken.
Loved this - thank you! :)
Love Tom Daley congratulations on all you’ve accomplished in the olympics you are incredible
Tom Daley is just one of the nicest men around.
Wonderful interview , Tom is very articulate and intelligent.
YES, this is my first time commenting first. Love from South Africa.
Im watching toms videos for years ❤️❤️❤️ im gay from sri lanka 🌈️🌈️🌈️
Love Tom and his family, he has a very nice and chill RUclips channel ❤
Tom Daley is an "excellent" human being! And I agree with Tom, if you're a country that discriminates and incriminates people just because YOU don't like who they are, you should not be privileged enough to hold the Olympics!
He’s a really wonderful person.
Love Tom. From my home town. He's a legend.
Tom's the one who proves to you as a young queer adult that you can be gay and strive for what you want. Thanks for being an extraordinary person and a role model.
Great interview
I love this interview. Talking about knitting about toilet roll covers made me laugh . Da best
I am soooo proud of Tom, he is saying the right stuff...!!!!👌👍👍👍👍
Tom's many accomplishments and beloved status have made him an inspirational individual who many people aspire to around the world. I have often wondered if his choice to come out was his or if it was influenced. I have always believed it was influenced, though I have never doubted his reasoning and courage for doing so. It was clearly the right decision for him and both an example of how being your own person can help you be your own person despite the adversity you some times face. He give hope to many people around the world who's human rights abuses they might also overcome with his support by his example and their own courage.
when i was a kid, i had neighbors (elderly sisters) ,
who crocheted cozies for everything,
including
the washer and dryer.
TOM deserves the british/ world metal about making the world a better place.
What a joy Tom Daley is!!
My hero 😍
Tom Daley - a fab, inspirational human being.
This Tom is a champion in outspokenness concerning human rights. Great guy. ❤. And he’s Funny.😊
Great to you Tom. I hope you have opened the door that it's ok to be gay in sports. Hopefully, you have opened that door.!!!!!
Well said Tom about the sport
Why did a country like China, with its total disrespect and disregard of human rights and freedoms, be even considered for staging the Olympic Games? The idea of the Games is to bring everyone together in the harmony of sport, a concept which the Chinese government has no understanding of or desire to uphold. Good on an athlete like Tom for saying it as it is. Athletes could fear for their freedoms or even their lives, including those of fellow athletes, in particular the Chinese participants, if a perceived wrong word or action offends the Communist Party. Who gains from this decision?
How brave - to have all your private life in the public domain. Takes guts.
He`s such an amazing role model for the young LGBTQ community! Also, he`s such a perfect piece of the most delicious cake! :-)
We should sack off Katar tomorrow
Qatar 🇶🇦 Spenser … ( Spencer )
His personal life is nobody's business that doesn't totally define who he is . He's a wonderfull Olympic performer . Deserving every award he has earned.
Wow, just amazing Tom
He has a valid point, some competitions In other countries should be put to a stop as it is barely safe for people who are different and Women which makes no sense.
very happy for you...
