    Just lol. He also made a half ass apology on facebook which honestly just made things worse because his excuse is terrible.

    I'm quite convinced he did intend to say what he said. He sounds like he's making up his apology as he goes along. Also, I don't see how he can claim to respect us and then call us 'perverts'.

    I'm more upset about his terrible grammar. Pervert is a noun. You wouldn't say "they are more apple".

    Unfortunately this is not surprising considering he is from Venezuela, where socialism doesn't mean tolerance of LGBT people. It just goes to show that in a non-free society, minorities like gays are often the easiest scapegoats to attack.

    The alleged response from ABC made the article for me. They were having none of it.

    Honestly, I had to watch the last season of the Bachelor for certain reasons, but Juan Pablo was about as interesting and intelligent as a block of cement, so I can't act as though I am surprised.

    The 'I have gay friends' excuse, I have never heard that before...

    Typical ridiculous reality TV.

    You are also correct about his appalling English communication skills.

    A show like "the bachelor" has been a great example for kids since when?

    Nice, another phil robertson on tv

    'More perverted?' Honestly? He's on a show kissing 20 different women at the same time. He's insulting.

    Just what we need, more people thinking we are perverts and setting bad examples. -_-

    Hm. I don't watch the show, but I've always had the distinct sense it's not exactly child friendly to begin with. So that 'argument' doesn't fly.

    In any case, a 'Gay Bachelor' show was done on Bravo or something years and years ago. Different name, but same basic concept. It did one season and was basically never seen again.

    Much more entertaining (in a 'let's watch a slow motion trainwreck' kind of way) was the reality show in which a 'bachelorette' aimed to find her guy with the twist that half the men were gay and she was supposed to pick them out (based on such sure things as how they dressed, personal hygiene, grooming, interests, etc.) to eliminate them. If she failed by the end of the show, the last guy standing would get some big prize or something.

    It was a fairly blatant attempt to get audience share with shock value and to play on gay stereotypes. All of which sort of blew up in the producers faces when their bachelorette kept picking out the 'wrong' (meaning the straight) guys as the gay ones. Another show that did its run and then was totally buried.

    Anyway.

    As far as I know, Socialism in itself is not against LGBT rights, and it certainly is not against freedom like Stalinism and such is, just to clarify that.

    Either way what is up with all the reality show stars suddenly going vocally anti-gay these days? Is this a "thing" now? Seriously?

    I think I'll be able to live without "random show I've never heard of"'s approval...

    I'm the tried of the I respect gay people but I don't think it's good for children
    or I respect gay people but don't agree with their life style .

    I wish people would be honest and not try to pretend that you love us when you actually don't . I don't need a respect from a bigot :dry:
    We're more perverted than straight people what the heck what do you think the gay people are gonna do have sex right on the show in front of everyone ? Some body's been watching to much gay porn .

    Whats even more annoying is that this sort of bigotry, the idea that "i dont think its good for children" is basically saying either of the following "im afraid youll convert my child" or "i dont agree with what you do" and then they will attempt to reassure themselves that what they are doing isn't wrong by saying " oh no! I dont hate gay people, i have gay friends and some are closeted." Whats more idiotic is the fact that most people should realize they most likely have a friend that is gay that they are not aware of. we are everywhere and most of us, have enough etiquette to not be making out on a public train or seat like straight people do on a basis (i often tell these people of if it starts to bother me)

    "Pervert" and "pervertido" are cognates, so he knew better. He can't use the "I speak Spanish and didn't really know the word in English that looks and is spelled almost the same in both languages meant that" excuse.

    Since when do kids even watch this show? I thought this generation had teenagers watching Disney Channel and whatnot. But that's not even the point.

    Because they have no real job and get lots of money and publicity by purposely making controversial remarks.

    Is pervert the only word these people have to say to us? I'm kind of bummed out that these clowns aren't creative with insults.
