So, that diary room scene with Cameron...
 

My icy heart melted. Bless him. That and the whole thing with Tomasz’s sleep were borderline emotional to watch.

He obviously planned to do that for his journey.

I knew someone would accuse him of that. :facepalm:

There's no way he would do that on TV without telling his parents first.

And a week ago he was listed in the gay housemates thread on this forum, though he wasn't confirmed. He's not surprising anyone.

Uh yeah, that was me, and it was because he made a comment similar to what he said tonight. He was as 'confirmed' as he was when I posted it as to how confirmed he is now

And do what? Tell his parents his sexuality? He may only be eighteen but he's an adult, and adults don't need to tell their family anything... heck even if he was under 18 there wouldn't be anything wrong with him not telling his family

I'm not out to my family yet I'm out to everyone else. Why? Because at home it's not the 'environment' for it. Similar to Cameron, I first felt comfortable in my sexuality when I was around a few other gay people. My family are accepting and I have gay relatives but that doesn't change the fact I'm more comfortable about my sexuality in the presence of other LGBT+ folk

Also, even though he knows he's being televised, it's hard to contain your feelings 24/7. He's in an accepting environment every hour of everyday which he is seems very new to, it's no surprise he's coming to terms with personal things now (especially since 18 is still very young)

Like, we can theorise "this is his gameplan!" and assume that he is faking barely keeping himself together and his anxiety and his discomfort when LGBT is the topic at hand (but is conveniently not crying even though we know that'd win the public over) or, more plausibly, accept that Cameron's in a new, more accepting environment which is clearly benefiting him

(I feel bad discussing his identity but just my 2p)

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

What happened?? :conf:, has Cameron revealed he's gay ?.

it was implied in his DR session

I'm not convinced , if he's still talking in riddles maybe he's still confused?. I haven't watched it back yet though.

I hope he comes out when hes ready and comfortable about it
Hes got lot of supportive friends in the house.

I honestly don't get why people have to be so cynical about it. Cameron is by no means stupid but I seriously don't think he's the sort of person that would come up with this narcissistic masterplan to win the public around by coming out.

:clap1:

the theorising is just getting ridiculous

It would be hilarious if he left the BB house and pulled off his mask and revealed NASTY NICK :joker: . It was him all along it would be like a Scooby Doo mystery :hehe: .

I didn't understand what he was saying in the DR, it was all confusing

It's very important representation that I don't think we've had before. It might help a lot of people, it certainly touched me.

He implied it imo.

He is a bit of a lost soul..

He's so young maybe he's still confused , my god i've never seen such a conversation full of riddles , he was so kyripic it was like he was talking in morse code :conf: !!! . I think he's too aware and worried about how he's being perceived .

But tbh that's fair enough he doesn't need to talk about those things :shrug:. I also think he's a very private reserved person when it comes to sex and sexuality . Clearly he's also worried about his family . I'm still wondering if he's asexual or curious? . Who knows and who cares he's still a young person and despite his academic background he still has alot to learn and he's lacking in life experience .

....awwww it was heartbreaking...:sad:...and especially as such a contrast to Cian’s story of putting on some of his mum’s mascara and going into the swimming pool, so it had all run down his face...and then his dad just asking..’are you gay’..and him saying yep dad...poor Cameron..:sad:...

Hmm just watched the episode and I didn't catch this. Must've not been paying enough attention or it was subtle enough where I didn't notice this :think:

Thomas's looking like a giant blueberry blancmange in his pjs had me in tears.

Funny, I read the diary room thing completely differently.

From his youtube videos, he held some pretty vocal views around womens equality. I thought he was being careful not to vocalise them until the time was right :shrug:

Obviously there's more to cameron than he's letting on. I'm not entirely convinced about the whole gay thing . But bare in mind his parents might not watch his youtube channel,whereas BB they will as he's on TV . I think he's very aware of that .

...but why would those views be a big thing about him which he hadn’t yet discussed with family and close friends...that wouldn’t kind of make sense Bots...

It could be anything , things like that can be interpreted in different ways and he spoke in riddles.

Maybe he's from a strict traditional background , but that doesn't necessarily mean he's stuck in the closet .

my first thought, wasn't that he is gay and wants to come out tbh.

I can think of much better ways of handling that situation than doing it on a TV program.

Simpy put, I took from it that he was finding his feet in the house, getting comfortable with his housemates, before putting some of his more "controversial" thoughts out there. He is a youtuber after all, that's what he does. That's what i thought he was referring to as he hasn't mentioned it yet in the house to my knowledge.

Those videos are like two years old iirc. On his active channel all he posts is football, I doubt he gives any pieces of **** about women’s equality or whatever

His active channel

I've always thought it would be an easy win for someone to come out on Big Brother - after seeing how invested the public got in the journeys of Nadia/Luke A. I'm surprised it's never been done before.

I must have missed it?

..Lilbro...:hug:...what you say is so interesting in terms of feeling comfortable around the LGBT community but not coming out to your family yet...even though you feel they are a very accepting..I wonder if that’s why Cameron seemed to be drawn to Tomasz and his friendship from the beginning..?...and also he often likes to be part of Cian and Zoe’s conversations and chats...but they’re obviously really close as a ‘twosome’ so he probably finds it hard to break into that dynamic as well...he’s more hovering and listening, you know..?...


...although he laughed at the pool conversation with Isaac and Lewis G...that ‘ladz’ conversation..that did have an ‘awkward’ vibe from him as well for me..as though he wasn’t really feeling it but trying to run with the ‘ladz’ humour and bantz...


..yeah the whole DR thing was quite heartbreaking to watch.. :sad:...

Excellent post full of valid points too.
Very thought provoking.

I agree with everything you've said here. It might be that he's still uncertain about his own identity, or has been in denial about it, for fear about how it would be received by his friends, family, etc, in real life.

Although televised, I would imagine that being inside the BB house feels somewhat as if he is cocooned in a safe place in which to explore his sexual orientation, and that other housemates with similar experiences make him feel that it's more acceptable to be 'different' than people do in his real life.

I think he is being genuine.

His DR session was quite heartwarming, and I was left under the same impression as well (+other bits of all the sex talk in the house).
He's 18, which is very young and it's OK - and if he is, he can take his time as much as he wants.
I'm happy he is surrounded by such an enabling companion in the house, especially glad Cian is there for that matter. If it helps "soften" the edges with coming to terms with his identity and his feelings (be it gay/straight/confident) - it's welcome.

:clap1:

yes he is thinking about coming out as a gay man

its not a "move" for the show or anything

That's exactly what he's doing. The whole thing feels SO contrived and un-natural. He is a BB superfan, he knows exactly how this works.

He is deliberately drip-feeding his coming out story, bit-by-bit, making it a slow-burn.

So obvious.

Luke A was the real deal: he put it out there to his HMs right from the start and made no more of it. No milking, no manipulation: that's why he won and Cameron won't.

Wow. Some people are really clueless as to how it feels to come out, thinking it's all one grand cynical scheme.

does the ginger guy not know he is a gay though?
