Tom Daley's boyfriend Dustin Lance Black has spoken out about the sex photographs that were leaked of him back in 2009, saying that he's glad that he addressed the whole thing in an open letter, with him now feeling a lot better about the situation.
Tom wrote an open letter last month to speak out about the racy images that showed him having sex with an ex boyfriend, after Pasadena Community College in California stopped the screenwriter from visiting after he was originally asked to be the commencement speaker.

He posted: "If you invade my privacy, this is what you will find," adding: "I have sex. It brings me joy, fosters intimacy and helps love grow... I am the victim of this 'scandal', not the perpetrator."
Dustin then spoke to Digital Spy about the situation, saying that he's glad that he had his say.
The Milk writer said: "People have been so incredibly supportive," he said, adding: "It was about time [I addressed the picture leak]. I always just sort of think it'll disappear, but it came up again."
"Cleve Jones, who's in Milk, is like a mentor to me, and he said, 'Girl, you need just to say it and let people know what's up', so I went ahead and did that. It was good to finally get it done."

Dustin also spoke out about his romance with Daley, saying that they manage to cope with their hectic schedules and having to spend time apart from time to time.
"I still split my time between here and Los Angeles. I really only have to show my face in LA so they don't think that I've died," he said.
