No gay contestant?

[jennyfromtheblock8]

Well that does not seem disportionately fair somehow especially as the LGBT community make up a large part of the entertainment industry. Also no disabled people either while I notice either. Come on ch5 get some balance so all communities are included.

[MB.]

Poor Raph :(

[Red Moon]

I was thinking that too..... there been at least one from as long back as I can remember.

[Denver]

They shoved them down our throat last year soo

[Marc]

Most gays aren't liked on BB lol

[reece(:]

Andrew was robbed.

Wow 2 mods who not been on for ages

no gay contestants? https://media.giphy.com/media/sR91D133W02D6/giphy.gif

[Northern Monkey]

Tbh i've always thought that they shouldn't have to represent one of every type of person.It would get too predictable.
Just let the selection process happen naturally imo.

[armand.kay]

we should get an all gay cast next year to make up for this.

[Parmy]

Raph is

[armand.kay]

oop ralph is

[Guuki]

Raph just said on live feeds he is gay.

[MrWong]

Raph just told mum and daughter that he's gay.

[Ant.]

I agree tbh, I think they got too ambitious having what, 4 out of eighteen people be lgbt+ last year? We were so overrepresented, I think it's only fair the het get their representation this year

I hope someones at least bi next year x

[Good King Glennceslas]

Who the **** is red moon

Raph just told mum and daughter that he's gay.

For no apparent reason.:joker:

[Novo]

Raph with a cracking gameplan to get the lgbt community on side

[Novo]

1) trump supporters
2) lgbt community
3) remain voters

All on his side now

[Denver]

Didnt he say Brexit was a bad thing?

[Novo]

Remain should I say

Yeah I'm sad about this and Raph is not really the best representation.
GaysForTrump are the WORST.

He BEST not be queerbaiting. I will be disgusted.

I have been witness to Raph pulling a chap, I can confirm he is 'a gay'

a very good representation for the Gays as well, there have been some absolute shockers in the past like Dennis BB9 and Craig BB6.

The Gays of the forum like Lucas and Firewire now have a noble clever and inspirational man to look upto finally. a new Martyr for them.

[Marc]

Poor Raph :(

He doesn't believe in love.

[waterhog]

I just commented on a other thread - and I will say the same here - you can not please everyone and there will always be some that feel someone has been left out.


try and stay positive all and enjoy the show for what it is instead of focusing on all the negative things.

Nothing wrong with being right wing. In his VT he said Trump would be best for his financial circumstances, which is fair enough.

How do we know he's a self-hating gay?

[Vicky.]

I don't understand this need for people to be picked because of their sexuality. One year we had people up in arms as there were like 7/8 gay contestants which was not 'representative' too. I actually find it really annoying how some seem to think the housemates should be picked to a quota...3 gay ones, 2 black ones, 1 asian, 1 with a disability. And so on. Its so patronizing :/

CH5 always fill their casts with gays yet the year they put just one in they are called gay haters

Um who?

I don't get why you're so pressed about the amount of LGBT people there are in the house?? Like when has a cast ever been "filled" with gays? You referred to last year having a lot. We had what, Ryan, Hughie, Andy, and Sam? That's four people out of eighteen... that's not even a quarter of the housemates being gay... it was hardly filled :joker:
Hun idk if you're scared that the hets are gonna get decimated, but the straights always outnumbers the gays in not only Big Brother, but literally every other form of media (not counting LGBT+ focused media). I'm fine with Raph being the only LGBT+ housemate (he's got other qualities too, us gays are diverse like that) and quite a lot of other people are, you're the only one bothered. You got something to tell us Adam? :hehe:

"house full of gays" okay again when has a house ever consisted of a majority of gays??

"people should be judged on their qualities" I don't see many people loving any housemates because they're gay. Also when you're only referring to gay people in terms of how many are in the house you're not really judging them by their qualities.

One of my friends is legitimately like this. Its a running joke between us all. But he is deadly serious. He refuses to support anyone, on any show who is not either gay...or a goodlooking dude. Preferably both...and gay takes priority over goodlooking straight/bi guy. Often, if no gay contestant is available and a goodlooking guy has to be chosen, he will spend weeks and week trying to convince everyone else that this goodlooking guy is actually a closetted gay guy. It really is bizzare :laugh:

Oh yeah, there's no denying there's people who look for representation in housemates. It's hard to use that as a criticism though imo, because there will always be homophobic people only supporting straight people, and there were people complaining about housemates not being white on Facebook. Luckily, the majority of us judge by the character of the housemate, not their background

But they you are asking for the house to get gay housemates only on the merit of being gay

If you're saying I only want housemates to be in there for being gay, it's a bit of a wild accusation to make as I said I'm fine with Raph being the only gay housemate, and I only found out until the Live Feed he was. And I liked him before that, too

Again, you avoid the "house full of gays" thing. Ah well

[Novo]

Lucas has always said you are a closet case, makes sense after you trying to pull that transvestite woman on the megabus

I believe you are the one that called her a GIP and then the blonde wig came off and revealed to be a man in drag and you were still after a bit, I am a closet non-homophobic heterosexual trying to express my love for the gay community but people like You, Lucas and Firewire don't want me to, I'm being discriminated against.

Wikipedia reports that less than 2% of the male populus are gay so it proves that gays on this programme are overbearingly disproportionate to the broad cross section of the populous. One gay in less than 50 contestants is the norm so why the outrage about only one gay in the ensembled contestants. The editors are probably sick of the homophobic issues that follow nearly every gay contestant and want to reevaluate their involvement.

I would honestly put in terms of males I personally know...around 1/10 are gay. 2% is FAR too low.

I've never taken part in a survey like that so I don't know how many people it actually represents

And if it's from a census then my sexuality wouldn't have been disclosed because it was a long time ago

I'm sure next time around the figure will be much higher

Yeah census figures should always be taken with a pinch of salt since they don't factor the number of people in denial. I don't remember taking the last census either, and I'd have been of legal age.

Adjoa from BB16 is a lesbian. BB14 had Wolfy, a lesbian, and Sallie is bisexual (but only if the girl was "really fit" so uh). Now that you've mentioned it, there's barely been any gay women on the show recently

True, but the amount of gay women vs gay men is ridiculously low, and it's not cool.
The thing is, we cannot have all housemates types every year. There is no black man either this year, so what does that say??

And the fact is, does not having a gay man makes the show or the cast less enjoyable? Not really, everybody brings something different to the table.
It's like people always expect the gays to provide the entertainment or something.

That was my point. We had more gay men last year than we've had gay women since BB hit C5. It's so odd.
Did we have a black man last year? I don't think we did.

For that exact reason, I see more people against including gays for the sake of it
