The Internet Compares Tom Daley And One Direction Members After Diver Comes Out As Gay With Boyfriend: Are Female Fans Worried About Zayn, Harry, Niall, Liam, And Louis?
Ever since Tom Daley's coming out, an interesting Internet trend has risen comparing the Olympic diver and his boyfriend to members of One Direction.
Granted, the fan fiction has long lived involving the 19-year-old Olympic diver and the equally young, British, and popular boy band. However, now that the joke of Tom Daley being gay is no longer a joke, the tone of Directioners on Twitter has changed.

Not sure who's worse the tom Daley fandom or one direction fans — maddison (@jonahfxck) December 15, 2013
This all comes on the heel of Tom Daley declaring that despite having had girlfriends in the past, he is now in a committed relationship with Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black.
Are One Direction fans preparing themselves in case Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry, or Louis suddenly makes a similar declaration?
Currently, The Chronicle reports that Tom Daley is planning on spending Christmas with his boyfriend and family.
"This is a big step for Tom," said a source to the Mirror. "He'd promised his family he'd spend Christmas with them and has loads of plans with his pals so now he'll get to have Dustin with him."
Reportedly, Tom Daley has already introduced Black to his mother and brothers.
If a member of One Direction came out as gay, would you be disappointed?
