Yes, it is a stupid comment. Especially considering he's a performing seal on a "reality" show designed as a weeks-long tournament to determine who is going to be his bride, all on national TV. That is pretty perverted. But whatever. He's free to make a fool of himself.

I know soft size doesn't mean much but on the previous season of the Bachelor when they had to model in bathing suits he wore a speedo and his package was quite small

His comments didn't bother me in the least. They were not said mean spiritedly. They were just his opinion, and he is entitled to them. I heard a followup interview where he said that English was his second language, and he doesn't always covey the correct meaning. He basically, stood by his not wanting gays as an example for kids. However, he explained that when he said gays were more pervert , he meant to say more openly affectionate in public. apparently he sees more openly gay, touchy, feely, cuddling and kissing in public than str8 people. That's just his opinion and he is entitled to it.

I don't know where he would see that :/

Around here, the ratio of hetero PDA vs. homo PDA is about 1,000:1 - i.e., *never* see gay people even holding hands, and I see hetero PDA 100 times a day. I think he's just made *uncomfortable* by the minimal gay PDA he sees :(

I guess everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. So, I don't mind, really. He's just vocalizing his. Since English isn't his first language, I don't think he meant 'pervert' as we think he meant it. I just don't think he could come up with the word he was looking for. However, I'd like to know what that word is.

If anyone gets the chance, please visit The Bachelors facebook page, twitter page, and let them know this sort of reckless bigotry is not okay. It's not a matter of getting him fired, but showing our galvanized LGBT presence so these execs know we exist, and we won't continue to be little props for their leading tv characters to belittle and bash in interviews. Time for the LGBT community to get real about calling out this crap. Not just for us, but future generation of LGBT.

well, I AM a pervert....

I would even put "proud" in front of that :biggrin1:

Definitely disagree with his views, but feel he was speaking more out of ignorance, than malice.

Either way, he's a nobody, and his opinion doesn't matter :cool:

He has said that gay men are too demonstrative. Is he kidding me? Well what the heck is The Bachelor all about then. They are constantly making out and what the heck goes on behind those closed doors. Never was a fan and never will be.
