Definitely not homophobic - but without doubt very heteronormative.

Can't be criticised for this, though. It's a reality show on a commercial broadcaster - it has to appeal to the largest, most lucrative market: young straight people.

In terms of the show incorporating LGBT contestants, it really wouldn't work. Love Island follows a very restrictive format. Adding in gay people would make it a very complicated, contrived and divided show...

The option of having an LGBT version isn't viable. It would not do as well in the ratings and it'd be accused of stereotyping.

Not everything can be for everyone.
