I don't buy this, "it's difficult speel"

Take Ali for instance, if took her 4 hours to say to 4 straight males on night one...."there will be lots of people watching who dont know I'm a lesbian"

Yeah, correct, and there will be lots watching who dont give 2 hoots what sexuality you are..BB isnt a knocking shop, it's a shop window for personalities, and sexuality isnt personality. So I dont know why she felt the need to share her sexuality to 4 strangers and millions watching


WELL I do know, but you know!

No, now is better but it's only better because of better representation and better discussion and more open discussion. It's only better because of the very things you're complaining about, really.

The more we talk about it now and continue to do so, the less we'll have to talk about in the future because one day it'll get to a point where it doesn't matter. But you only have to look at the comments Ali got regarding her sexuality, such as people questioning whether she was a lesbian and invalidating her own sexual identification, to say it isn't better.

Many of the straight HMs also spoke about their sexuality. Sure, they didn't say "I'm straight" but they spoke about their sexual experiences many times. It's all the same.

And as I mentioned, sexuality is not your personality, but when you've grown up gay - or in Ali's case, grown up hiding/ignoring you are gay - it often becomes a closer part of your identity to that of a straight person due to your experiences.
