ABC's 'Bachelor' Juan Pablo Galavis Says Gays Shouldn't Be on the Reality TV Show

The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 1/18/2014 | THR Staff

ABC's latest Bachelor says he doesn't think that there should be a gay or bisexual on the broadcast reality television show and described gays as "more pervert in a sense" in a new interview.

This is going to be very interesting. Juan Pablo is the hottest bachelor on that show yet and all the women swooned for him to be the one this season. He is going to be attacked for sure by the left in every way but the women will not turn on him. He is no doubt bringing that show the highest ratings so far. He does not strike me as someone to back down from his beliefs either.

Their gaydar is never wrong. “He” (their selected target) just isn’t aware yet.

Ah, at last some masculine eye candy for us ever-ignored freeperettes!

LOL

Don’t tell me they don’t shove their perversion in our faces.

You might want to reword that last line!

I personally find the straight dating shows unwatchable enough already. (It’s a guy thing, I guess.)

Why does Drudge have this as a huge headline? Is he taking offense at this? Is Drudge gay?

[Malone LaVeigh]

From a ratings standpoint, putting homosexuals on doesn’t make any sense. Two percent of the population, who the heck wants to see them anyway?

HBO doesn't agree. New show premiering tomorrow night, "Looking", the adventures of young gay men in SF. (Barf!)

[Publius]

A few years back, Showtime had a series, “Queer as Folk”, that was about the adventures of gay men in Pittsburgh. It lasted a year or two but didn’t pick up much of a viewership.

Thanks, mucho. I'd rather look at Juan Pablo than Juan Williams any day.

I heard some audio clips of the whack job "bachelorettes" that are after this guy.

My guess is that he's trying to get out of his contract as quickly as possible.

[sheikdetailfeather]

You need to watch the show. A picture does not do him justice. He has a great accent. I think he has all the attributes women look for. He is very respectful, intelligent, warm and funny. Loves family and has a bit of a devilish side. Is quick witted, loves music and dancing and is very romantic. On top of that he is humble and a real person.

"accepting"

Maybe a certain percentage of the college population. But before I retired recently, I used to work with a lot blue-collar type young people. They were not so accepting of homosexual behavior. And I'll bet a very large pct. of the general population, including many libs, still find it repugnant. They will not say so openly, but I'd like to see them take a polygraph. I don't think the results would be something the homo lobby would like.

That’ll flop like all their other sexually-oriented shows. My wife and I get both HBO and Showtime as part of a package deal with our cable provider. We were huge fans of Showtime’s Breaking Bad. Showtime was eagerly promoting what they hoped would be their next big series “Masters Of Sex” about the sex researchers Masters and Johnson. Neither me nor my wife are remotely interested, and I’ll bet neither are many other people who liked BB.

[MinuteGal]

Thanks for all the links. I've never seen the show....don't much care for sitcoms (news junkie)....but for Juan Pablo, I'll tune it in for a look see. Gracias.

People,

I want to apologize to all the people I may have offended because of my comments on having a Gay or Bisexual Bachelor. The comment was taken out of context. If you listen to the entire interview, there’s nothing but respect for Gay people and their families. I have many gay friends and one of my closest friends who’s like a brother has been a constant in my life especially during the past 5 months. The word pervert was not what I meant to say and I am very sorry about it. Everyone knows English is my second language and my vocabulary is not as broad as it is in Spanish and, because of this, sometimes I use the wrong words to express myself. What I meant to say was that gay people are more affectionate and intense and for a segment of the TV audience this would be too racy to accept. The show is very racy as it is and I don’t let my 5 year old daughter watch it. Once again, I’m sorry for how my words were taken. I would never disrespect anyone.

Sinceramente,

Juan Pablo Galavis.

... another one bites the dust

His apology only dug a deeper hole for himself. They are crucifying him on facebook.
