Default BB have seriously let down the LGBTQ community with this years casting
I mean c'mon we have 1 gay housemate for once I would like Big Brother to cast regular gay guys like myself who I and others can relate to.

BB viewers are mostly gay men and straight women and I'm sure even the straight viewers are bored of seeing men trying to be lads and all blonde women with the same personalities.

This years casting is false advertising seeing as it was advertised as the United Kingdom of big brother.

Will 'regular gay guys' apply? They do tend to only pick OTT camp gay housemates Either those are all that apply, or BB purposely cast stereotypes

Not including Raph in that though. But generally

This isn't the case ive applied a few times now and the producer stage when I said I'm gay they almost looked dissapointed lol. There are outrageous gay characters obviously but there are also regular gay guys like myself who work 9 to 5 jobs as builders and carpenters and I would far prefer watching them than some screaming queen.

You should apply and just not mention being gay until you are in the house tbh

Clearly your answer should be 'I would shag them right infront of everyone else on the kitchen table' or something

Guaranteed acceptance

I find this offensive that you call yourself a 'regular' gay, reminds me of a person who said I give gays a bad name for wearing makeup!

Oh put your make up brush down and stop being so pollitically correct. You know what I mean with BB they tend to only cast 1 or 2 gay people and they are almost allways the stereotypical, camp, supposedly funny to watch person to entertain the nation for a few weeks....sorry but I find that far more offensive.

Like me and you are polar opposites gay people arnt all about wearing make up and making bitchy comments. You have to agree we need a more diverse casting with the LGBTQ a community and the straight community tbh.

Ratings show this.

I want a mix and to be honest if a guy is going to lay into another guy for being camp i dont want to watch that. Being part of the community you need to band together not pick at people for genetic things that are out of their control. Sadly for you most gay men are camp, genetics and all. Not cool to call people queens.

That's reality though. Jim Davison did it to Brian Dowling and even though it was offensive so ****ing what it's what happens in the real world so why censor it? BB is actually a really good platform for breaking down barriers and even though it's harsh it works.

Agree with this, I've always thought lesbian are extremely underrepresented.

raph has been a bad stereotype I agree.

when will we have a lesbian who isnt a fanny hound and gay guy who gets on with all guys and not just girls?

Biggns, although camp, was a great role model
