I knew someone would accuse him of that.

There's no way he would do that on TV without telling his parents first.

And a week ago he was listed in the gay housemates thread on this forum, though he wasn't confirmed. He's not surprising anyone.

Uh yeah, that was me, and it was because he made a comment similar to what he said tonight. He was as 'confirmed' as he was when I posted it as to how confirmed he is now

And do what? Tell his parents his sexuality? He may only be eighteen but he's an adult, and adults don't need to tell their family anything... heck even if he was under 18 there wouldn't be anything wrong with him not telling his family

I'm not out to my family yet I'm out to everyone else. Why? Because at home it's not the 'environment' for it. Similar to Cameron, I first felt comfortable in my sexuality when I was around a few other gay people. My family are accepting and I have gay relatives but that doesn't change the fact I'm more comfortable about my sexuality in the presence of other LGBT+ folk

Also, even though he knows he's being televised, it's hard to contain your feelings 24/7. He's in an accepting environment every hour of everyday which he is seems very new to, it's no surprise he's coming to terms with personal things now (especially since 18 is still very young)

Like, we can theorise "this is his gameplan!" and assume that he is faking barely keeping himself together and his anxiety and his discomfort when LGBT is the topic at hand (but is conveniently not crying even though we know that'd win the public over) or, more plausibly, accept that Cameron's in a new, more accepting environment which is clearly benefiting him

I'm not convinced , if he's still talking in riddles maybe he's still confused?. I haven't watched it back yet though.

..Lilbro......what you say is so interesting in terms of feeling comfortable around the LGBT community but not coming out to your family yet...even though you feel they are a very accepting..I wonder if that’s why Cameron seemed to be drawn to Tomasz and his friendship from the beginning..?...and also he often likes to be part of Cian and Zoe’s conversations and chats...but they’re obviously really close as a ‘twosome’ so he probably finds it hard to break into that dynamic as well...he’s more hovering and listening, you know..?...


...although he laughed at the pool conversation with Isaac and Lewis G...that ‘ladz’ conversation..that did have an ‘awkward’ vibe from him as well for me..as though he wasn’t really feeling it but trying to run with the ‘ladz’ humour and bantz...


..yeah the whole DR thing was quite heartbreaking to watch.. ...

Ammi thank you

Absolutely, I feel like he's definitely an outsider trying to find a place where he fits in

Excellent post full of valid points too.
Very thought provoking.

I agree with everything you've said here. It might be that he's still uncertain about his own identity, or has been in denial about it, for fear about how it would be received by his friends, family, etc, in real life.

Although televised, I would imagine that being inside the BB house feels somewhat as if he is cocooned in a safe place in which to explore his sexual orientation, and that other housemates with similar experiences make him feel that it's more acceptable to be 'different' than people do in his real life.

I think he is being genuine.
