Default BB have seriously let down the LGBTQ community with this years casting
I mean c'mon we have 1 gay housemate for once I would like Big Brother to cast regular gay guys like myself who I and others can relate to.

BB viewers are mostly gay men and straight women and I'm sure even the straight viewers are bored of seeing men trying to be lads and all blonde women with the same personalities.

This years casting is false advertising seeing as it was advertised as the United Kingdom of big brother.

Will 'regular gay guys' apply? They do tend to only pick OTT camp gay housemates Either those are all that apply, or BB purposely cast stereotypes

Not including Raph in that though. But generally

raph has been a bad stereotype I agree.

when will we have a lesbian who isnt a fanny hound and gay guy who gets on with all guys and not just girls?

Biggns, although camp, was a great role model

This isn't the case ive applied a few times now and the producer stage when I said I'm gay they almost looked dissapointed lol. There are outrageous gay characters obviously but there are also regular gay guys like myself who work 9 to 5 jobs as builders and carpenters and I would far prefer watching them than some screaming queen.

You should apply and just not mention being gay until you are in the house tbh

I find this offensive that you call yourself a 'regular' gay, reminds me of a person who said I give gays a bad name for wearing makeup!
