Evander makes headlines in USA after 'homophobic' remarks (TMZ Report)
 

EVANDER HOLYFIELD RIPS GAYS ON BIG BROTHER UK
TMZ REPORT

Evander Holyfield told a housemate on "UK Celebrity Big Brother" that being gay is no different than being handicapped ... because a doctor can fix both ... and was immediately SCOLDED like a child by "BB" producers.

Holyfield made the comments Sunday -- during his first week in the BB house -- when reality star Luisa Zissman asked him if there were any gay boxers in the sport.

Holyfield -- a deeply religious Christian --cited the bible and said homosexuality is NOT a choice ... but rather something like a "handicap" ... something doctors can fix.

Zissman respectfully disagreed with Evander ... and it seemed the two were ready to move on with their lives ... when Evander was taken to a private room, where producers RIPPED him for expressing his beliefs.

In fact, "BB" producers called Evander's comments "inappropriate" because they "aren't the views that are held by a large section of society."

Holyfield says he understood that his comments could be considered offensive ... but never apologizes.

This whole situation reminds us why we revolted against England ... so we could have the freedom to express our religious and other beliefs ... no matter how offensive.

As bad as Evander is .. the show is being RIDICULOUS. Didn't they they learn anything from the A&E/"Duck Dynasty" debacle??

great stuff

What are : the A&E/"Duck Dynasty" debacle??

The father from Duck Dynasty was put on leave a few weeks back for basically saying being gay was a sin, due to his deep religious views, the tv channel back tracked and allowed him back after a ton of internet petitions etc.

one of the guys on Duck Dynasty said that homosexuality is equal to beastiality (or something like that). A&E suspended him from the show. People got outraged and the rest of the family said they were going to quit if he wasn't put back on. A&E caved for money reasons (show it most popular on their channel, money maker) and he was put back on.

FYI last time a CBB storyline hit the US shores was the CBB5 thing. Correct me if I'm wrong

It's all over the place here too.

Thanks, never heard of Duck Dynasty

"the show is being RIDICULOUS" what does this mean? the article is completely over-exaggerated.
