And YES they are part of the gay community and YES they are representing said community. Whether they like it or not.

Amanda especially just refuses to accept that people like Anne could have made her life very different if they had gotten their way. Just like India she refuses to acknowledge the work of gay people who have come before her. Things like this matter.

“I’m fine dear, nothing to do with me” The attitude stinks. She has lived her life as somewhat of a pampered celebrity so yeah, maybe she hasn’t been affected so much but the rights she now holds certainly have.

Shane mentioned women’s rights and the Amanda’s first response is “and men’s rights!” Says it all really. She’s the sort of person to respond to “black lives matter” with “all lives matter”. Missing the point completely.

It all makes me very sad, especially coming from older gay people.

Why the bloody hell do they have to be representatives of the gay community? just because they are gay? This means you have to be representing gay issues constantly rather than just being yourself?!

[Denver]

Why does being gay have to define you as a person?

[Lilac hills]

She was right on everything

Ended Shane j and other victim complex far left idiots

[Cherie]

They didn’t go in to represent anything other than themselves

[chuff me dizzy]

They are BEST representation ,they don't expect to be put on this pathetic whining, self absorbed pedestal that others do

Ate him up and spat him out, just as Wayne and Ashley did too

[luvjustin]

Because they are public figures and they are on TV.

And being gay might not be ALL you are but it’s a HUGE part! And I don’t mean you have to be out there in gay bars all the time or even at prides events or marches. You just have to be respectful of the people who do get involved. For YOU.

And as gay person you are going to stand there and defend the likes of Anne there I have a major problem with that.

[Lilac hills]

Would you rather have malicious Shane j turning everyone against Ann because she doesn’t agree with him representing your community or Amanda who loves people for who they are not the 2829292 labels attached to them and their views

If your sexuality is a huge part of your personality then you must be such a wet flannel at parties jesus christ

They did not defend Anns views though. Neither of them did. Wayne basically said he knows nothing about her views (for all he knew Shane was making it up to stir **** really) and even if he did, he was not going to randomly attack her for them just because Shane was pushing him to. Amanda did not defend Anns actual views either. But had a problem with Shane (and Malika but more Shane) going behind Anns back rather than to her face. I reckon thats a fair point tbh

You can stick up for someone as a person without agreeing with all their views

Bull****, at 82 years of age Amanda doesn't need to represent anyone except herself.

I feel sorry for people who think that their sexuality is the most important thing about them. It's pathetic.

Yeah this for me too really. I don't want people in CBB to represent me I just want to watch a light entertainment show. I don't think any housemate has ever represented a 'community' in Big Brother, which shows that aside from their sexuality they're all just individual people. It's great to have a cause and everything but people don't need to have one and they certainly shouldn't be held to different standards based on their sexuality.

[Gusto Brunt]

I thought Wayne and Amanda were just people. I didn't know they were representing anyone or anything.

And a very silly saying too . I know countless gays who are not part of a " community" they are themselves and no one represents them, never mind an idiot in a tv reality show

[Paula D]

We're talking about a woman who has lived during a war and you have the neck to think that she owes you something.

This really does make me angry.

What if Wane and Amanda were black? And Anne had voted against black people marrying eachother? Would you think it odd that they ignored her views then?

They both made it clear tonight they are just people, must to Shanes shock, he tried to get them on board his plan to out Ann but by God did it backfire on him

[Lilac hills]

Amanda and Wayne are more than their sexuality, skin colour, gender identity, billing address, eye colour

Trivial things like that are all that Shane has going for him hence why it now defines him

[BENDERBOY]

Pet gays, safe to have around the children and dear old granny.

[Vicky.]

No I still would not find it odd. Funnily enough, people with all kinds of views can get along pretty well whilst also disagreeing with each others views.

Whataboutery annoys me a lot tbh
