Daley emphasized that visibility is crucial for LGBTQ+ athletes in unaccepting countries, stating, 'The most important thing is that LGBTQ+ people be visible in countries where the laws are against them.' He reinforced that participating openly in sporting events conveys a strong message of hope and activism.
He continued, 'All we can do as LGBTQ+ people is to be visible, to be out there and be ourselves. That in itself is a form of activism. And everyone can get involved.' This highlights the significance of individual presence in challenging hostile environments.
Tom Daley reflected on his recent experiences, saying, 'It's such a powerful and strong message,' referring to how his actions, such as holding a rainbow towel, resonate in countries that criminalize LGBTQ+ identities.
Daley also mentioned the upcoming knitting exhibition in Japan, noting, 'Money raised from a silent auction of his designs will go to the Marriage for All Japan campaign,' demonstrating his ongoing commitment to advocacy and equality.
