what the ... what is wrong with him hes not even telling his mum and do you know good website to see footballesr pictures

Obviously you don't know much about muslims Leema , but homosexuality is against their religion and is punisheable by death in some muslim countries . Most muslims hate gays , and Kemal is most likely afraid of his parents disowning him .

Kemal's nothing to be ashamed of , and if they don't accept his sexuality then they aren't worth knowing .

True. But I have to say, it's pretty obvious that Kemal is gay! Although at home, he probably hides that fact well. I wonder how his parents will react to him when he comes out of the house?

How anyone could think he was straight is beyond me.

[Sunny_01]

I understand his religous fears about revealing to his parents that he is gay but if he was so afraid of recriminations then why wait until he was on national tv to announce the fact? he is a little exhibitionist in my opinion and has done this all for effect and must not care much about his family to have done this to them, it shows a distinct lack of respect in my opinion.

[Razmataz]

Right its up to him if he wants to tell his parents not you so let him do it

[Lance]

Ya at th end of the day its his choice whether he wants to tell his parents or not.And to reinforce the point,homosexuality isnt accepted generally in the Muslim religion,even though Kemal claims to be a "modern-day" Muslim.

Its how he was born and its how he has to live,theres nothing to be ashamed of,but he probably cant do anything about it because of the strict religious rules.

Totally agree

You are very defensive when someone has a different opinion to you Gladders, my point was if he was to scared to tell them then why did he feel able to do it on TV! if I was that scared of the recriminations I would not be on a show like BB. I dislike your tone when you talk to people so please refrain from telling me what I can and can not say.

aww i think thats sweet not telling ya mum u r not gay but finding out on t.v that ya son is gay is out of order!

[Sunny_01]

I agree I have no problem with anyone not telling their parents but for them to find out at the same time as the rest of the country is bang out in my opinion ( not that I am always right of course lol )

I understand the Muslim religion quite well and actually have my own copy of the Koran so need no-one to preach to me about this but do feel the way he has done things is out of order.

If my 18 year old daughter came out on national TV and that was the first time I heard about it I would be very hurt. Not because she was gay but because she had not been able to tell me.

[xxxrachelxxx2045]

IF I HAD A KID AND I DIDT KNOW SHE OR HE WERE GAY AND I FOUND OUT ON T.V IL VOTE HER OUT MY SELF AND KICK her bum ! sorry about caps

[Gez]

Ok well he is Islamic, and Musslims are very strict and presise about such matters. They do not in any way agree with homosexuality, and from what I cxan gather Kemal's parents seem to be strict Musslims. (A level R.E )

So maybe going on Big Brother and making it less personal is Kemal's way of showing it.

Besides who are we and Roberto for that matter to judge?

[InTheHood]

Personal choice.

[Catcrazy]

I am 22 and i only just came out to my mum, it's not an easy thing to do. I can understand where Kamal is coming from and NOBODY has the right to judge what he has decided to do, we all have to deal with things in our own way, I respect Kamal for his courage but there is also some thought in what he has done, if when he comes out his parents or the muslim community cast him out he can make a mint selling his story to the media.

[liliacqueen]

i think its up to kemal what he does and roberto was so out of order last night at the end of the day its kermals choice not ours how he comes out.

[Sunny_01]

You are right it is HIS choice to tell them - but it is also our right and choice to discuss our points of view because he brought it into the public domain. I am a great believer that once someone has talked to me about something they have given me the right to comment on it!! ( not having a go though lilac )

[liliacqueen]

its ok i understand where your comeing from and yeah we can talk about it but some people seen the way he did it was wrong i mean i would hate to find it out on tv but its the way he felt comfortable maybe because he now has a few weeks or however long he is in the house berfore he has to face his parents.

[BusyBee]

I feel for his parents. OK they must have realised his sexuality (its not difficult to work that out), but to come out on National TV must have totally embarassed them in front of their religious community.

I think Roberto was right - he has no respect for his parents' feelings. Ok it is difficult to be truthful, but to come out in front of millions of people must have really hurt his family. They are the ones who have to deal with the fall out from other Muslims.

To do it the way he did was taking the easy way out, he lets his strict Muslin parents deal with others reactions. He obviously hopes it will have died down by the time he leaves.
