Default Do you think Love Island can do an LGBT series?

I mean it's doable but it won't be as straight forward if they really go all the way and put transgender and queer people inside. It will definitely make for an interesting series but will inevitably get a lot of backlash.

Would you watch it? Would your close friends and family who watch Love Island tune in for the LGBT series? If not, why?

This question/thread has probably been made before but I wasn't there when it happened so we're having this discussion again

It’s doable obviously, would be a little more complex than the normal series but it would work. However, I just think producers really are not interested in doing so and I don’t think it would rate well tbf either. I know for a fact most of my friends would hate it fff.

Would be a cute to see a four week experiment in January, but like I say I think it would absolutely bomb in ratings compared to the original.

I would give it a shot if they tried it. I use to tell a joke about if i support gay marriage or not. I would reply of course i do they have as much right to be miserable as the rest of us. That concept sorta spplies to your question. I think it would be s good cultural thing to show gay people are just as dsyfunctional as the rest of us.

For example Courtney Act had a bisexual dating show not long ago. It can be done.

I would like to see an international show more than a gay one. Right now they have love island in 4 countries, uk, australia, sweeden, and america. They could pick 3 islanders from each country and put them in the same villa together and see how it works out. They could also expand it to include other english speaking countries like canada and south africa.

It would be an interesting social experiment to see if attraction supersedes cultural differences

Yeah, they should try this. It shouldn’t be too hard to work out a format that would work.

Putting all bisexuals in so they could pair up with literally any other person rather than this girls/boys divide would actually be really interesting.
