You may not like Brian if he was less camp. I've notice women love gay men who are camp, asexual and non-threatening. The more a gay man appears to be 'straight-acting'* the more confusing it is for women. Imaging theres a guy you really fancy, good looking, sexy, masculine and assertive. He's into football and sport and typically hetero guy stuff rather than gossip and shopping. Then boom you find out he's gay, but he's still masculine to you and sexy. Confusing. He's not 'lovely' or cute, he's hot but you can't have him. Although Dan isn't too blokey he's more masculine than Jack and Brian and I think Hazel wouldn't be adverse to some kissing but it's never gonna happen,

I don't believe that. There was plenty of very camp gay guys in there all through the years that I didn't like at all. The main thing I loved about Brian in BB2 was his sense of humour, alot of times I would actually be crying with laughter while watching him. My liking him as a HM had nothing to do with his sexual preference

But what if a gay male HM was not camp or effeminate but a really blokey guy eg BB5 Victor or BB12 Jay McKray?

Brian's humour was bound up in the fact he was gay. Most camp and effeminate blokes are gay, not all but I suspect 99% are. Brian Dowling was never going to be heterosexual!

What about it? Victor was one of my favourite HMs of all time as well, i don't see what difference it would have made if he liked men?
