After winning the synchronized 10m platform with partner Matty Lee, Daley lauded LGBTQ athletes.
"When I was young, I always felt like the one that was alone and different and didn't fit in, and there was something about me that was always never going to be as good as what society wanted me to be", he said according to the official Olympics website.
"I hope that any young LGBT person out there can see that no matter how along you feel right now, you are not alone, and you can achieve anything.
"And there is a whole lot of your chosen family out here ready to support you."
