We've also had "regular gay guys" before so what are we complaining about?

Yeah, the whole diversity angle they were going for prior to the series beginning just looks embarrassing now lol.

Raph seems pretty normal to me? He's not like the textbook camp gays we've seen cast in previous series. He's probably the most normal gay person we've seen on this show for god knows how long.

Big Brother could really do with an entire cast that is diverse. They started well with this series but now most of the house compromises of young white people from former reality TV shows.

Yes but out of 18 housemates he's the only gay person in there.....that's my point.

On a serious note to your topic, I don't feel let down and wouldn't feel let down if they cast NO LGBTQ people because I have bigger things to worry about other than LGBT representation HOWEVER seeing as it is meant to be The UK of Big Brother I would have liked to have seen more representation of everyone I mean why were there no Scottish people

The show used to be a champion of diversity, this year is so homogenized. Even moreso than BB12. Really bizarre casting choices here, they're trying to compete with Love Island by replicating it - that will never work. Love Island is Love Island. Let Big Brother be Big Brother.

That is the kind of show that it would make a lot of sense to have a spinoff series for gay people I think. A whole island full of gay men, then maybe a series of lesbians also. Though the second would probably have very large viewing figures as a lot of men would be tuning in when they wouldn't usually
