If one of your friends told you about a gay person they work with doing the same thing as Gareth did - marrying a woman for 8 years, cheating on her and then making a hollywood film about it, what would your reaction be? I think it's fair to say that most people would see that as completely unacceptable behaviour. So why is there a different reaction for Gareth for doing the exact same thing? Just because you think he's lovely in the BB house? Someones behaviour over two weeks in a televised house is not a true reflection of their personality. Their major life decisions are a true indicator of their character. And on that basis, Gareth is a selfish image obsessed opportunist.

No, it's what someone too young to understand the complexities of relationships and the acceptance of your own sexuality, whatever it may be, would say.

I have lots of gay friends. A couple of them were married, many of them had relationships with the opposite sex before they came out. I don't particularly think Gareth is lovely, I have no strong feelings about him either way. I do, however, think your wild summing up of his past garnered from the little bit you know about him shows you up to be very young, or very immature, or both. That's not a criticism, we were all naive once.
