I don't care about ANY of your negative vibes. If you don't know what coming out is actually like, you have no right to say how somebody else should do it. Honestly, people getting on their high horse and accusing him of gameplaying clearly have no clue what coming out can actually do to someone, no matter how supportive your family and friends are. It’s scary and life affirming and he should be really proud of himself. It’s so easy to accuse people of fakeness and gameplay on Big Brother. If he was game playing, he would have moaned less, been more positive and sulked a lot less that he has and he would also be a lot less paranoid. It is PAINFULLY obvious to anyone with a brain cell that his relationship with Lewis is because he gets a huge amount of comfort from him because he needs it. Someone with that level of paranoia and low self confidence does not possess the narcissistic qualities required to build a game plan to the level that he is being accused of.

If only we could change Cameron and his cynical ways :(

But he has said it, over and over again. To many different people, in many scenarios. Including once in the diary room where it was even more obvious than when he was telling the housemates. All while pretending to be cryptic but actually being as obvious as one can be without yelling 'I am gay' at the top of ones voice.

Well done, Rob. An excellent post.

It is so, so sad to see so much cynicism about Cameron's decision to come out as he did. I think people forget how young he is, and how, at 18, he is still discovering his identity and trying to come to terms with it. This was no game plan.

From what his dad said on BOTS, a lot of the people closest to him already know, and he just didn't get the chance to tell everyone he wanted to before entering the house. I think being around such a diverse range of people in the house probably made him feel that it's totally okay to just be who he is without feeling the need to hide it, and hence the environment was right for him to come out - it was a safe environment where I feel he knew he would be accepted for who he is.

Cameron should be so, so proud of himself to have the courage to do what he did, and credit to the other housemates for making him feel secure enough to do so.

I'm so glad that his dad was so proud of him on BOTS.

I don’t look for flaws in people at all, I just can spot a fraud when I see one.

I don’t get the ‘HE IS ONLY 18!!!!’ part. I’m not saying everyone has to be like me, but I came out at 13 :shrug: I don’t get why it is such a huge deal at the end of the day. He is the EXACT same age as me. His family is obviously very accepting, the whole house has been accepting of Cian/Tomasz. I don’t really see what is holding him back but then again I’m not him. Just when loads of things add up... it doesn’t all ring true to form.

Babay it's not about "looking for faults" , we're just not gullible and we figure things out instead of following like sheep.

I've agreed with a lot of what you have said about housemates this series, and you've made some excellent posts.

However, it's not at all fair to refer to people with a different opinion to yours as 'gullible' and unable to 'figure things out instead of following like sheep'. This is just condescending and putting people down.

The fact is, you and lots of other people have one opinion, whereas others have a different opinion. But the fact is, all this is only OPINION.

I love that people who claim to watch the show and love it seem to forget that the 45 minutes we see isn’t ALL that happens. They are stuck in there with only their own thoughts and the same people all day, in fact I would argue that Cameron and Lewis are illustrative of that more than any housemates in a long time.

That's fine i understand .

But I don't expect you to have the same opinion as me :idc: , this is why this is a forum full of debates & different discussions . I'm just not falling for Cameron's "coming out" story :notimpressed: , yes i've said i'm cynical about things but in this case i think it's justified . But we're all free to believe what we want of course .
