I definitely agree with the sentiment, though. Non-stereotypical gay guys should definitely be represented more in Big Brother (alongside those who happen to be more camp of course, the solution isn't to act like camp gays don't exist, but to acknowledge that they're not the only ones who do).

I hear you, but in my defense I wouldn't usually use that term, and was referring to it being brought up earlier on in the thread. But yes, either way diversity, diversity, diversity. Gender, sexuality, age, culture, ethnicity everything, that's what makes for a great show in my opinion

Fair enough, and yeah I definitely agree with you.
