ABC's latest Bachelor calls gays "perverted".

[RandySF]

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

Juan Pablo Galavis, the 32-year-old star of The Bachelor who also appeared on the most recent season of The Bachelorette, made the remarks in an interview with The TV Page's Sean Daly, who posted audio of the comments.

The writer asked whether ABC should have a gay or bisexual bachelor on the show. "No," Pablo Galavis responded. "Just 'cause I respect them but, honestly, I don't think it's a good example for kids to watch that on TV. It's hard, it's hard, it's a very thin line."

He continued: "Obviously, people have their husband and wife and have kids, and that's how we are brought up. Now there's fathers having kids and all that, and it's hard for me to understand that, too, in the sense of a household having people's -- two parents sleeping in the same bed and the kid going into bed. It's confusing in a sense, but I respect them because they want to have kids, they want to be parents. It's a scale; where do you put it on the scale, where's the thin line to cross or not? You have to respect everybody's desires, opinions and way of living. But it would be too hard for TV."

3. It really confuses me whenever some ostensibly straight person get fixated on gay sex

Homophobes talk about it more than any gay person that I've ever known.

I spent all that time in DC, which has to be THE gayest city in this country, but as a single straight guy, the place was a paradise.

All the women, my goodness, I never met so many eligible women in one place in my life. I knew that it would only be a matter of time before I got married while I was there. And that's exactly what happened.

So all I have to say to Mr. Juan Pablo is that he should hang out in a town that has a substantially large gay community and not care what gay people are up to, and just let the magic happen.

If he did that, he probably wouldn't be a "Bachelor" for long.

4. Dig a little below the surface, and there is often some strangeness going on in the

inner psyche. Most 'normal' people do not obsess over other individuals sex.

5. That's what keeps the porn industry alive

It appeals to something that thankfully most of us have evolved beyond.
