Can’t you understand his frustration if he’s not gay but everyone keeps telling him he must be gay?
There’s a guy in my workplace who is like that. He sounds and acts like he’s gay but he’s not. He’s slim, always well dressed and well groomed. He is married with a couple of kids but just not a blokey bloke.
He suffers the same frustration because everyone, constantly assumes he’s gay and people don’t believe him when he says he’s not. He laughs about it but also gets really annoyed sometimes.
No I don’t because I haven’t been in that situation. But I also know someone who was in the same situation. Denied it. Got frustrated. Got married to a woman. Still denied it. And turned out he was hay and was in denial and was actually quite homophobic. He had to spend some time working through his issues.
My issue is that with Justin he said he doesn’t talk to his nan because she thought he was gay and said to his mum why didn’t you stand up for me. Like why would it matter if he was? What is there to defend? It’s not a crime so there is no reason to defend yourself. You can only say no I’m not or laugh it off.
The way it sounded it was because his nan asked his mum if he was and then said I think we need to accept Justin is gay. Sounded like a pretty accepting nan to me.
No Justin said his nan was the one telling his mother who he was and that he was gay and “it’s time we admitted to ourselves that Justin is gay and he’s in the closet.”
I probably wouldn’t watch a gay version of The Bachelor personally but at the same time, I also have absolutely no interest in watching the various heterosexual dating/relationship/wedding programs that currently saturate our airwaves.
If Ten/producers can find some success in a gay version of The Bachelor, then good on them. Mainstream Australian TV probably should be doing a better job at representing the LGBTI community anyway.
