There maybe 7 gay people going into the BB house

[Lemo]

Big deal?

Ive seen comments which ent nice and mostly all Ofending in a way


theres 7 gays going in whats the diffrence about 7 straight people going in?!?!?!?!?!

Just because they like the same sex it doesnt matter or unless you call us ''the other people''

im sorry if im going pathetic but i realy dont think its nice was some of the members have said the uk is a Aceptance to gays

[MR.K!]

3 is way too much little own 7.... if there are im not going to watch it this year.. its a reality tv show.. 7 gays posing about is not reality to most people ecpecially sice gays only represent a tiny amount of the uk's population

[the_chosen_one]

Wow thats alot! Is there a good reason why theyre doing it like this?

[Lemo]

but there still humans
see you think Gay people are diffrent and they should belong somewhere else

[Jack]

It's not their sexuality that bothers me. Big Brother always put in stereotypical queeny gays like Marco. 1 or 2 is fine but 7 is too much.

[the_chosen_one]

I dont think gays arnt human.:laugh2: Thats silly. lol. I was just saying there is alot and it must take a big effort to find them all specially for big brother instead of giving everyone a chance.

[Ruth*Star]

Gays are alright, they are people but putting 7 in is reduculous.

[*Adäm]

Thing is Rwar, people are always going to be offensive towards Gays, we just have to deal with it. Don't take it personally, not everyone is as tolerant.

*Adäm x

[Amy21]

I have no problem with gay people. I have friends who are gay. But 7 gays going into the house is far too much. 1 or 2 is ok but 7 is too much. I hope this is a lie.

[the_chosen_one]

Dont gays like to argue? Could it cause problems?

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Gay's are alot more fun in the house I think. Marco, Richard etc. I must admit 7 is alot though.

[Blink_Me]

If there's more than 2 going in, I seriously won't watch much of it.

[*Adäm]

That's a little bit stereotypical the_chosen_ one...

Why not blink_me?

That's a bit of a generalisation. :nono:

[MR.K!]

i have a feeling this is going 2 get messy..

[the_chosen_one]

Sorry. A gay told me "oh we love arguing, having a good bitch". He's my friend so im not saying it to be horrible, but they were his words. He sounded to be proud of it.:spin2:

It must just be his opinion.

[Jack]

Fair enough, I must admit - the gays BB have in the house are always bitchy and do no favours for their reputation.

[Emilee]

OMG! 7!!!! Thats stupid. it might aswell be a gay big brother...

Im all for gays and everything i have 2 gay friends but it wont be right.

[Blink_Me]

Big Brother knows that most gays like to have a good bitch. They think it will make good ratings. To put 7 in will kill the show. It will become totally boring after a couple of weeks.

[Razmataz]

I personally believe they wouldn't put 7 gays into the house, as this would not be 'equality'.

Bisexuals maybe. but not gays.:thumbs:

[Cody™]

well gays always turn out to be the most entertaining housemates. but i doubt this is true anyway.

[Mrluvaluva]

Gays? Listen to yourselves. I understand why Rawr is upset now.

[Razmataz]

Richard/Kemal/Marco...entertaining I say

Derek. Entertaining.

Craig...eugh. hah.

[MR.K!]

yeah gays are entertaining when there is a few.. but with too much they will all be competing and it will get boring. also the house will be drawn in two

[GhettoSuperstar]

Doesn't bother me but it might bother other people, thats why gays are limited??

B BRO KINKY LUST FEST
25/04/07
THIS year’s Big Brother is set to be a gayfest.

Bosses plan to carry on camping right through the summer by lining up more gays than ever in the BB house.

They have examined previous years’ shows and found gay and lesbian housemates provided the best footage and most talked-about moments.

So the final line-up, set to be unveiled when the series begins next month, will include more gays than ever before.

At least half of the 14 housemates have revealed they are homosexual or have bisexual tendencies.

A show insider said: “We desperately want Big Brother 8 to be remembered for camp fun and frolics rather than fights and fisticuffs.

“We want to get away from the Celebrity Big Brother race row with Jade and Shilpa.

“And we want to avoid another Fight Night where even the police had to be called. Some of our best contestants in previous years have been gay.

“We’ve even had lesbo kisses, queer romances and bitchy handbags-at-dawn showdowns.

“Brian Dowling was the first gay champion of a reality TV show back in 2001 and then we had transsexual Nadia Almada winning in 2004.

“We have come to realise that gay people are less inhibited. They love a good bitch and they know how to poke fun and have a laugh.

‘They also make up a huge percentage of our audience and voting targets.

“It’s on course to be our best show yet and will hopefully be remembered as a long, hot summer of brotherly gay love.”

Big Brother 8, hosted by Davina McCall, 39, is set to run for 13 weeks – as long as last year.

Insiders say a real mixed bag of housemates has been chosen.

They are rumoured to include a Greek art student, an Asian teacher, a disabled woman and a gobby chav. BB bosses are also looking at copying a stunt already used in Australia’s version of the show.

Once the contestants have entered the BB house, six others dressed in white enter a room decked out all in white.

The two who win the endurance test to see who can stand living in a “world of white” the longest get to go in the main house

Don't stereotype people. If you are all straight. Should I call you "the straights"? Think about it.

Well..... there's a reason why we call people gay and why we don't.

As someone said before..... gays are limited, so that's why we call them gays. We can't go around saying, "oh, that person's not straight, you know."

This has been debated about before and war broke out then, just like it is today.

That thread was locked, as accusations were made regarding the definitions of how to describe somebody who is a Gay person.

If I say "Gay person" or "Gay people" that shouldn't offend anyone.

So how about it, before another silly war starts:mad:

Anyway, regarding the possibilities that quite a few Gay people do enter the Big Brother 8 house this time.

Would you watch the show anyway?






nodisharmony :angel:

[Mrluvaluva]

I am just making a point. Stereotyping is like grouping a section of people into a "box". I wonder if you would be so quick tp call people "jews" or "blacks" etc. Does anybody understand my point? I think this is why Rawr is upset. It is ok say someone is gay. But IMO it is not okay to refer to a group of people as "the gays".

I understand what you are saying. They are ordinary people who happen to be homosexual not just 'gays'. I think this topic is getting out of hand now though.

Thanks Jack. I just think that Rawr is a bit upset by all this.

Don't get told off by another forum member

Just work out that a topic can get locked, when arguments break out. That is when it is better to go back to the topic and ignore the arguments.

[Mrluvaluva]

It is nothing to do with getting the topic locked. It is discussion that gets points accross and views known.

[Sunny_01]

Hmm someone after a MOD job!!!!!

Really though people have to be very careful when talking about a group of other people. I certainly wouldnt like to be referrred to as "the gays" or "the straights" Sexuality should not come into it really it is about personality. Yes some of the more entertaining HMs of old have been gay but so have some of the straight ones!!!

Not everything has to be about sexuality or race!

nodisharmony :angel:

[Sunny_01]

the thing is the problems are not for you to sort out Nick, if people are unhappy with posts, threads the RIGHT way to handle things is hit report or send a U2U to someone form Admin or a MOD.

[easypeasy]

theres such a thing as "positive discrimination" when a less skilled ethnic minority is shown favour over a better skilled "average" person. I really hope the house isnt full of ***** this year, it would ruin the show.
yes i did say "****" but thats not a big deal, gays are all over the tv nowadays there is no need to fill the house with them.

[Sheepie]

I personally think that this story is a lie.
Although, I have to say why would it matter that 7 gay people are going in? As long they're picked for the right reasons (personality) then being gay/ straight/ bisexual/ black/ white and any other way of grouping people you can think of, shouldn't matter!

I have to say, I hate the way the media make something out of what isn't even there.

You can call them gay people you know. Or maybe like easypeasy? The bigot likes to call them - *****.

Hi Rick,(the_chosen_one)

Don't worry about a thing:thumbs:

The title of this thread says:- "There maybe 7 gays going in"

If you or I or anyone else on the forum says the word "Gays", then it is perfectly okay. (it's in the thread title)

Some people do take offence when someone places the word "The" before the word "Gays", but some don't mind.

I would have rather debated the topic title and done it in a nice fashion, but instead, it went into the usual spiraling downwards into oblivion. Anyway, don't ever be concerned and this is a friendly & serious forum, where we chat & debate. Don't let yourself get be-littled either. Fight onwards.

7 is way too many.

probly just another rumour anyway.

Spot on.

I don't have a problem with gay people. I have a few gay friends.

[Furb]

I think it'd be quite odd that BB producers would choose 7 gay guys to go into the house intentionally? Seems a bit unfair!

Oh, and I'm a gay guy myself and I'm definitely not stereotypically over the top or camp or anything, and neither are some gay friends of mine! So what that Daily Star story talks about is just a load of stereotypical rubbish! :P

Also, it's my first post on these boards, hello everyone! :) *waves*

[Mrluvaluva]

Why can't you just refer to them as "gay people". Do we now have "gays" and "straights"? And Hi Furb. Welcome to the forum.

[GiRTh]

I say lets have a gay Big brother with all gay housdemates. That would be interesting.

[Fom]

Aslong as there isnt 7 CAMP gays i aint bothered tbh.
I dont watch bb for the relationships so i dont care if they are gay or staight, but if they are gonna run around screaming like little girls im gonna stop watching. Because its just annoying.

I know for a fact alot of gay people are not as camp as most people like too think, and sometimes you cant tell if they are gay or straight. If they are straight acting i aint bothered. But 7 camp gays in one house is just a no no. And im not insulting gays at all, half of my mates are gay and i think they are great but im not keen on the camp ones... i dont see the point.

You wouldn't be offended because you are not gay! Some gay men take offence when being refered to as 'the gays' because it's like sticking them all in a box. It;s just like saying, "Right, your all the same and in one group!" and that isn't right.

I don't really understand why you cannot understand it? I guess you need to grow up a bit then you will get it...

Personally, being refered to as 'the gays' doesn't bother me, but because it bothers some people, why still say it?

Just think about it from our point of view. If someone was calling you something that offended you, and they kept doing it, how would you feel?

If you did it to a black man (IE racism) you could get in alot of trouble, even prison, it's a very similar thing, only on a smaller scale...

[ryanaldinho10]

I've never spoken to a gay person and am from a very much straight white area so cant relate to people who are slightly "different". That doesn't mean I don't like these type of people, I just think Big Brother try and please too many people with their selections of housemates and unfortunately this will be even more evident after Celeb BB. I'm sorry but people who say - Oh but there are loads of gays/different ethnic groups in this country these days, are usually from London. But judging by our area, a ratio of 7 gays:14 overall people (50%) is absolutely rediculous.

:nono: You can't just call whoever you want what you want as you say. If you beleve that then you could end up in a lot of trouble. There is freedom of speech, but it does have its limits you know.

You may think it is ok to put specific types in a box, but other people have different views.

:nono: You can't just call whoever you want what you want as you say. If you beleve that then you could end up in a lot of trouble. There is freedom of speech, but it does have its limits you know.

You may think it is ok to put specific types in a box, but other people have different views.

Well put :thumbs:

It is just a discussion. And maybe people will learn something from it by making constructive comments, but not everyone does unfortunately.

[Foebane100]

I liked Brian, but hated Marco his screaming effeminate performance just annoyed me so much. I think putting 7 of a particular group or stereotype would be too much. Imagine a house with 7 promotions girls or whatever.

[Noel]

not all gays are hyper and loud. it wouldn't be that bad. you could maybe not even notice some are gay, and forget about it.

and they might just decide to put 7 gays in not because they are gay, but because their personalities are ones they want.

gay is just a sexuality, not really a personality.

[Magic]

it should be there personality, not sexuality!!

Marco ruled!!!

[Noel]

i totally agree, Marcofan! if the c4 producers have decided to put 7 gays in, then so be it. it doesn't mean they put them in just because they are gay.

they dont put straight people in just because theyre straight.

The Daily Star article is saying that there is going to be 7 Gay people entering this years Big Brother 8 house

So if this takes place? Then they are placing them in the BB house (because they are Gay)

It is a way of changing things.

But we don't know as yet, whether it is going to happen? It is just an article from one of our favourite Newspapers:rolleyes:

people are people, i hate all this labelling, it shouldnt have to be said in 2007 that using the term "gays" is not pc, and for those of you who think political correctness is a bad thing, then its a poor reflection on yourselves. Some of the best BB housemates were homosexual : Anna, Brian, Marco, Dan, Richard, Craig were all high entertainment characters. For someone to turn around and say "you cant but seven gays in a house" is disgusting. its the exact same as saying "you cant have seven straights in the house" i am shocked at some of the comments made here and thank God for people like ~~ and Adäm because without them the world would be a terrible place.

[Noel]

in most cases, thet put gays in to spice things up because generally they are entertaining-not saying they all are, but most of the gay housemates have been entertaining, but if they put 7 gays in, i dont think it would be because they are gay, i think some of them would be in just because theyre personalities are good, excluding their sexuality.

I agree noel1993:thumbs:

I think it would be better to do things as they usually do and have an even spread of housemates, just as normal.

This idea of letting 7 Gay people entering the house, is just going to upset the balance, I think?

Many will disagree with my view, which is understandable:thumbs: As everyone has different opinions.

Personalities are important and regardless of sexuality, good housemates, make a good show.

Which we all want :hello:

Some very good points ams91:thumbs:

people are people, that is correct:thumbs:

political correctness exists and nobody can change that. Sometimes it has to be done, as it is safer and more secure.

There have been some great Gay housemates and Endemol would never change that. It is going to happen this year, there will be a Gay housemate or more. But we can't say for sure as yet.

Some members on this forum, would prefer that this years BB8 should not have 7 Gay housemates and some would like it. That is true.

However, to say that it is disgusting, that is not my opinion. Gay people are just like the rest of us. Accepted...

The members " ~~ " & " Adam " are indeed good members, but there are plenty of other good members too, who are very happy to accept Gay people in our society today.

But if you are happy to say, that "the world would be a terrible place without them???" Then that is your opinion.






nodisharmony :angel:

[Sunny_01]

I have to say I hate the way this thread is turning, we are discussing people who are gay as if they have some kind of illness!!

Why does someones sexuality have anything at all to do with their entertainment value as HMs.

I think that the key is to remember they are all people, they are all going to be HMs and lets see how it all pans out, maybe time for criticism is after the show has been launched if we dont like how it pans out.

Also I would like to remind people that some posts on here are bordering on homophobic which will NOT be tolerated by the Admin and Mods on this site

[GiGi]

i didnt mean that its disgsting that there there- i meant the way some people were talking about homosexual people in the past day in this thread was wrong. i gave ~~ and adam as two examples of people who from a glance stood up against the people such who said it would be wrong to put seven homosexual people in the house. Personally, i dont judge people by sexuality, gender is not a boundary for me, but i have no problem with anyone who disagrees with me as long as they use respectful, pc language and can give a decent point backing up their opinion.

[Sunny_01]

not directed at you ams91 - dont worry :hello:

[GiGi]

cool! because my best friend is gay and it just angers me some of the stuff people say about her. You are right, people are people. At the end of the day, as long as they are good big brother housemates, thats all that matter-sexuality is only one aspect of life, after all. :lovedup::lovedup:

Spot on - its about what someone brings as a person to the house that makes them a great HM.

[GiGi]

yeah like if you were gay and were shortlisted for big brother and you were there in france or wherever they are hiding, and you were told that you are not entering on launch night but going on the standby {like aisleyne and sam} because they already had a gay person, wouldnt that be awful. there should be NO restrictions on the ammount of people from a particular society, ethnic group, community etc.
Roll on BB8!

[the_chosen_one]

But if theres no restrictions shouldnt that apply to no favouritism too. I think this shows favouritism, what the daily star is reporting.

[Sunny_01]

I do understand what people are saying about wanting a broad spread of different people from different cultures and backgrounds, lets hope that the house we get suits everyone :dog:

I always say that ams91:thumbs:

But as the title of the thread says,

"There maybe 7 gays going in"

Then it will make many forum members assume that it is okay to say that?

Maybe it should be altered?

To say "There maybe 7 gay housemates going in"?

That may help the situation? What do you think ams91?





nodisharmony :angel:

I think that would help nodisharmony, thank you very much for asking. So, i was just thinking that the fact that the eye is rainbow colored because the symbol of a famous gay and lesbian organisation is a rainbow. What do you think?

I actually haven't really thought about it ams91?

I do like the EYE and am actually glad that we got to see it when we did, rather than waiting to the launch date.

Too many fake EYES/THREADS, agreed:spin2:
____________________________________
Regarding the thread title.

If it stays the same and other members do say the word "gays", then I would think it would be better to not complain too much, as it may be classed "unfair?"

As the thread title is still saying the word.

I am sure you understand what I am saying?





nodisharmony :angel:

[Moses455]

The only reason they will put so many gays in is because they have been entertaining in the past. Again, this is evidence the show is hardly a 'reality' sho any more, but trying to play to what its strengths were in the past. Were it a true reality show, there would be a more inclusive sample from the UK population.

If it is true, I don't have a problem with it, I couldn't care less if someone was straight, gay or universally sexual but I would still have no hesitation in questioning the decision as to why?!?

But then again the answer appears to be obvious..
Channel 4 answers to The Guardian. :laugh:

[GiRTh]

I think this is a lot of fuss about nothing. Big Brother seems to pick housemates on personality anyway. Last year there were only three people of colour in the house and one of those didn't even make it into the actual house. And that's out of about 22 housemates. That is no way a fair representation of society but it happened. If there are seven gay people in the house then who cares.

I think Sunny is right too. Some of the comments on this thread are bordering on homophobic.

[Sophii3x]

I really don't see the problem with having lots of gay people in the house.
Sexuality, is sexuality.. nothing to do with personality.

With respect, to say BB 'seems to pick housemates on personality' is a load of tosh. Why, then, are there always 6/7 women with silicone breasts and bodies that are always exposed on TV? The show is more about modelling and commoness than actual diverse personalities.

In a way I kind of agree with you but I don't care for your tone. For me, Big Brother has been more prone to pick freakish emotionally unstable people in recent years than anything else. I certainly don't think the show is about modelling and commoness and I'd be thrilled to hear how you've come to such a conclusion.

There are common & housemates that are models too.

I am sure that Endemol will pick a very diverse choice of housemates, ranging from complete extroverts, to quiet shy housemates.

I am glad you are expressing your opinions so strongly, as it is important for a great debate:thumbs:

I know that this topic is dedicated to the Daily Star article, whereby, they say that 7 Gay housemates are going into the BB house

If this is true and we are about to have a Gay-fest, which the article states, then it can be easy to assume, that there will be Gay housemates that will be "common", "model", "big boobs", (Extrovert) & (Introvert) alike:thumbs:

they dont put straight people in just because theyre straight.

I have to disagree with this the producers would put them in just because they are gay to provoke a reaction and outrage from the public and also get free publicity with many column inches. Remember the producers manipulate the people watching as much as the ones inside.

I would hate to see someone's sexuality become a major topic of the show and somewhat spoiling it, much the same as race has before.

[Noel]

well as michael in bb7 said, his personality was much more than his sexuality. i think people should see beyond the sexuality, through to the personality. sexuality only makes up a small fraction of a person.

[Foebane100]

But can make up much publicity

[Noel]

well the c4 producers would probably put gay people in because they are gay, but they shouldn't. they should look beyond their sexuality.

Being wound up so easily shows a very low tolerance level to a bit of witty banter. Perhaps you should go on some course to deal with your intolerance to those who may be more intelligent than you are.
I don't particularly want you 'thrilled' at my conclusion as to why the show is about modelling and commoness, but I will indulge you, even though the fact you cannot even see this for yourself shows you have more shortcomings than a lack of tolerance.

How many 'busty, fake' models have there been in the house?
How much is about pulling, drinking and altogether being rather shallow?
At least in BB1, the characters were genuine members of society and had indepedent thought.
Now, all we will get is a load of wannabe models, popstars and generally very shallow people, who all see BB as a way of making money and not the psychological experiment, it originally was meant to be.
Unfortunately in society, this viewpoint is prevalent, hence my use of the word 'common'. And as for the 'model' tag, I think this is obvious from my explanation from above and just using a little brain power.

Your comment shows no causal link between the two parts of it. You claim I have a high opinion of myself. This is somewhat true. I am indeed more intelligent than the vast majority of ignorant people here. Then you try and make a very vacuous attack by claiming I should practice what I preach, yet you give no evidence of where I am intolerant. I may be arrogant, but you erroneously have assumed that arrogance automatically leads to intolerance. Kindly show me a causal scientific link between the two points in your assertion.

Moses is spot on. I just don't think Big Brother has cared about people's personality for the last few years. They tend to go for looks over brains, big boobs over style. Etc.

It is possible, that this year, they will change things Blink_Me

But as yet, we don't really know.

When the Launch night has been and gone and we can really study each and every housemate, then we can certainly find out, whether Moses is right or wrong.

I have a feeling, that Endemol will be looking to make some real shock changes this year and a lot of these rumours will be smashed into a million pieces.

I have looked at the article again and have to point this out:-
_________________________________________
Insiders say a real mixed bag of housemates has been chosen.

They are rumoured to include a Greek art student, an Asian teacher, a disabled woman and a gobby chav. BB bosses are also looking at copying a stunt already used in Australia’s version of the show.

Once the contestants have entered the BB house, six others dressed in white enter a room decked out all in white.

The two who win the endurance test to see who can stand living in a “world of white” the longest get to go in the main house
_________________________________________

There is a mention of a "Disabled woman" within this article.

Click on this:- http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=59437

Well, the new pictures of the interior of the BB8 house, certainly seem to disprove that theory.

So, does anybody consider this "Gay fest" to be nothing more than a fake-rumour??
