“Celebrity Big Brother” Contestants Declare Bisexuality Isn’t Real: “You Have To Pick A Team!”

Another summer, another offensive Big Brother chat!
From: NewNowNext

 Celebrity Big Brother fans are fumed after a conversation between two housemates turned anti-LGBT on yesterday’s live feeds.

During a chat with Mob Wives’ Renee Graziano about her feelings on gay rights and the LGBT community, gay housemate Christopher Biggins, an actor and TV presenter, nonchalantly declared that bisexuality is not real, and that bisexual people are simply afraid to come out as gay.

“It’s beautiful… it’s who you are and I think it’s natural, but I think today in society, I think they kind of force things on people and confuse you,” said Graziano.

Biggins added: “I think the worst type though, I’m afraid to say, is the bisexuals. What it is, is people not wanting to admit they’re gay… be honest, that’s what you’ve got to be.”

Without hesitation, Graziano agreed, saying bisexuality “upsets” her.

“You have to pick a team!” she yelled. “You can pick any one you want! But you have to pick a team!”

Biggins and Graziano’s conversation was broadcast live on the internet as gay housemate Frankie Grande, who is looking for a straight bromance this season, looked on without interjecting.

Their comments understandably upset some viewers, including RuPaul’s Drag Race judge and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Michelle Visage.

I wish I was there to speak more and show how passionate I am about what was said about bisexuality on #CBBUK

“Disappointed in Biggins and Renee after that conversation,” she tweeted yesterday.

“I was raised with the truth that most gay men chose bisexual as a label to come out with first, because it was safer than gay. I admit that for YEARS I too believed that bisexuality was just the gateway to gay and easier to hide behind vs coming right out.”

Over the years I realized that I was wrong and not seeing the big picture: bisexuals are bisexuals. That's it! No hidden agendas

It's hard enough paying bills, putting food on the table, etc. DO NOT TELL ME THAT MY OR ANYONE ELSE'S SEXUALITY IS INVALID.
