His Dad has just been on BOTS and said that he and other members of the family knew so that’s that on that.
I don't care about ANY of your negative vibes. If you don't know what coming out is actually like, you have no right to say how somebody else should do it. Honestly, people getting on their high horse and accusing him of gameplaying clearly have no clue what coming out can actually do to someone, no matter how supportive your family and friends are. It’s scary and life affirming and he should be really proud of himself. It’s so easy to accuse people of fakeness and gameplay on Big Brother. If he was game playing, he would have moaned less, been more positive and sulked a lot less that he has and he would also be a lot less paranoid. It is PAINFULLY obvious to anyone with a brain cell that his relationship with Lewis is because he gets a huge amount of comfort from him because he needs it. Someone with that level of paranoia and low self confidence does not possess the narcissistic qualities required to build a game plan to the level that he is being accused of.

I have to hold my hands up and say I questioned his actions...I also assumed his family didn't know.
However watching tonight I found it quite endearing and genuine. Lewis has been a great mate for him in there.
I hope Cameron feels liberated now...and can enjoy the BB experience more.

Well done, Rob. An excellent post.

It is so, so sad to see so much cynicism about Cameron's decision to come out as he did. I think people forget how young he is, and how, at 18, he is still discovering his identity and trying to come to terms with it. This was no game plan.

From what his dad said on BOTS, a lot of the people closest to him already know, and he just didn't get the chance to tell everyone he wanted to before entering the house. I think being around such a diverse range of people in the house probably made him feel that it's totally okay to just be who he is without feeling the need to hide it, and hence the environment was right for him to come out - it was a safe environment where I feel he knew he would be accepted for who he is.

Cameron should be so, so proud of himself to have the courage to do what he did, and credit to the other housemates for making him feel secure enough to do so.

I'm so glad that his dad was so proud of him on BOTS.
