Perez is an embarrassment to the gay community

[Samm]

He seriously is it makes me feel uncomfortable, and he's adding to the typical stereotype

Michelle said it all really

[Pincho Paxton]

He's the quiet one!

i felt really uncomfortable watching that scene :umm2: it was cringe

[ruiphillips]

One person does not represent an entire community. Don't be foolish.

[Mokka]

very cringe... I hope his backers will see it

[Daniel.]

I'm gay and I don't care. He's amazing :joker:

[GiRTh]

Its true, Michele was right but it was bloody hilarious at the time.

[Benjamin]

Then really you need to get into the gay community more tbh. I'm gay and I'm comfortable enough in myself to know that is not representing me or all gays

[Macie Lightfoot]

Perez needs to ****ing die. Michelle acting like the LGBT community is her community is definitely a dangerous position to take and it's definitely not up to her to decide what's embarrassing to the LGBT community, but I don't even care because her heart's in the right place and Perez has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

[Samm]

One person does not represent an entire community. Don't be foolish.

I know, but that's not what most people would think

[Gusto Brunt]

Why embarrassed specifically to the gay community?

[Gstar]

Louis spence is 10 TIMES WORSE imo

[Smithy]

Perez is an embarrassment to the human race

[smudgie]

Nah. He no more represents gays than Kinga represented women.





He gets on my nerves but I admit to having to cross my legs I was laughing so much at his antics and how hw was winding the house up.:laugh:

[Ninastar]

Totally agree. There's so much going for the gay community that proves gay guys arent those annoying queeny stereotypes, but someone so extreme and OTT flamboyant just makes it so much worse. I'm a lesbian, yet it makes me want to call him really nasty names. I can't even imagine how it would make a homophobic person feel.

[chuff me dizzy]

Agree with Michelle 100% and ANYONE who finds his behaviour tonight funny or acceptable is as sick as him

[Drew.]

Very true

no i'm not as sick as him

[jennyjuniper]

Perez needs locking up by men in white coats.

[mizzy25]

It wasn't @ all funny, it was disturbing tbh

[Benjamin]

You know is what is more embarrassing is the fact that people think he represents the gay community.

[abhorson]

One person does not represent an entire community. Don't be foolish.

Michelle knows more would you not accept?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Well the King of the gays should excommunicate him.

Who is the current King?

[Benjamin]

Michelle knows more would you not accept?

Why, does she. She is still one person.

[Cherie]

Because that community have her as an idol and respect her thoughts obviously.

Now you know how I feel as a Scottish person. Every Scottish HM who has ever gone on BB has been a C.U.Next Tuesday. lol

[JoshBB]

He's adding to the overly sexual stereotype which I find incredibly offensive and quite upsetting, even more so since this is the stereotype I can sometimes be misassociated with.

[Ninastar]

how do you think i feel as a scottish/american lesbian

Camp doesn't equate gay so he's only an embarrassment to himself.

because the way he acts is an ott queeny whiney mess. how many 'straight' men act that way? he's just an annoying super flamboyant gay guy, which is what most gay guys are portrayed to be like irl, when they arent. What Michelle was saying was that she hates the fact that she's tried to prove that gay people are just like everyone else, and then Perez has to go and be some annoying, little **** and influence some people into thinking that gay men are like that.

By some, I mean people who aren't used to having sane gay people in their lives. If someone doesn't have a gay person in their lives and maybe hasn't even met a gay person, then of course they will think that they are like what they see on TV. It's sad, but it's true.

[Chuckyegg]

I've never noticed a gay community. There isn't one. Nobody represents me.

Just Michelle going for the low-blow out of frustration. Nobody can get Perez to change his social conduct in the house so Michelle is trying to make him feel guilty by using her position as a drag-queen judge as if that somehow makes her protector of the gays. Remember her talking about how the contestants on that show were her children and she had to help them grow? I guess she thinks her show is somehow representative of all gay culture and therefore gay people are weak and need her help. Not impressed at all.

[Razor]

I can't see the correlation

Caitlin you know I'm not a massive fan of people like this usually as I find it overbearing, but I'm not going to go out of my way to actually hate people like this despite what I joke about. The fact is there are people like this in the "community", so? It's who they are. Why should they feel bad for it, and why should we make them? That is oppressive and is not what LGBT is actually about, it's about everyone who falls into that group, regardless of their personality.

[Ichi_Bear]

She needs to chill. Perez is a joker! Hope he stays. 😒

I don't care about people who actually are like this, because they are real. Perez isn't. All he wants is camera time and he doesn't care who he upsets. I'm not in any way suggesting that anyone should feel bad for being themselves, like I said, I don't really care, be the person you are. But what I hate is a fake attention ***** making some people look bad and it's not fair.

[Novo]

He is the pride and joy of the gay community and someone Putin would gladly accept in the Motherland for a trial run at the very least, Michelle was wrong this is the start of worldwide acceptance, The Turtle will agree with me here

But my point is you do get people like this in the "community". We both know this. They act up as that is their personality trait.

20 or 30 years ago I may have agreed that Perez would have been seen as representative. Not now, the world has moved on, people will judge Perez as an individual and nothing more.

Then surely the issue is with the people who see individuals as representative of a whole group of society rather than a separate person of their own, regardless of whether they're putting on an act or not. Straight people can act up too. :laugh:

[Daniel.]

I don't get why you all care he is amazing tv that's all that I care ab

Same could be applied to most straight celebs. And just to clarify, people like Rylan and most media portrayals of gays are fine and not stereotypical?

[bots]

As a person, many people view him as a complete dick, so its just not amazing tv, its cringe tv

We aren't going to agree on this so I'm just going to leave it and play on GTA

Tbh Michelle was coming off quite homophobic in that discussion in the Diary Room tbh, and the best part was that Calum was watching her crash & burn with every comment that she made.

Oh nice post. I was chatting to a gay friend today about her outburst and he said, "How dare she think its okay to speak on my behalf as though I need her protection...F-ck her. He's not acting like a deranged queer, he's acting like a deranged person and his sexuality has nothing to do with this".

While I agree with the above comments that one person does not represent a whole group of people. However, the most ignorant of bigots will see Perez's behaviour and claim that all gay people are like that and unfortunately people who have never met an openly gay person in real life will believe this and spread homophobia.

What he is doing is dangerous, and he needs to realise that he could damage a community.

[Lstan]

What she said was an over reaction-no one is stupid enough to think perez represents a whole diverse range of people, hes been hated for many years, i dont think there is any group of people perez fits into, hes like a universe unto himself hes so...bazaar lol

But Kavana's gay yet he hasn't done anything in the house to make any of the public think that “all gay people are this way” Michelle jumped on the wrong thing, it was a bad game move.

Wow thats original :idc:

[lostalex]

He's not getting any sex. I think we can revoke his membership card. He seems asexual to me.

i remember hearing him interviewed on Howard Stern a few years ago. He wasn't getting any sex back then either. I can't imagine any person of sound mind or adequate IQ ever showing him any kind of affection. I would rather **** a raw salmon fillet before i let my dick anywhere near that repulsive Cuban freak.

[lostalex]

I don't get why you all care he is amazing tv that's all that I care ab

No, he's not.

He provokes good TV from the actually interesting people like michele, katie, nadia. but he is not interesting in and of himself, at all. He's entirely predictable, h's so ****ing simple. There is nothing interesting about who he is at all.

[abhorson]

Oh how i wish they could afford to send in Will i am for a few hours to see his friend Perez :cheer2:

But, again, that problem lies with the ignorant person, not someone like Perez.

[Denver]

Ive seen a few gay people on twitter say this

[Braden]

I see both sides of the argument.

Anyone who judges other gay people based on Perez's actions/attitude are in the wrong for being simple-minded, so shame on them.

But at the same time I understand Michelle's DR rant. He is a bad representative of a community who are already marginalised. Unfortunately some people are ignorant towards the fact that gay people are individuals, so having Perez on TV acting so horrifying is not doing any justice for equality for gay people.

[Mystic Mock]

No, he's not.

He provokes good TV from the actually interesting people like michele, katie, nadia. but he is not interesting in and of himself, at all. He's entirely predictable, h's so ****ing simple. There is nothing interesting about who he is at all.
