UPDATE ‘The Bachelor' on Gay People: "they're more 'pervert' in a sense"


ABC’s “The Bachelor” is in hot water.

Juan Pablo Galavis doesn't think we are good example for kids. In an interview in TV Page, this fool just let it all out. When asked about a gay version of The Bachelor, he said:
“No… I respect [gay people] but, honestly, I don’t think it’s a good example for kids… Obviously people have their husband and wife and kids and that is how we are brought up. Now there is fathers having kids and all that, and it is hard for me to understand that too in the sense of a household having peoples… Two parents sleeping in the same bed and the kid going into bed… It is confusing in a sense. But I respect them because they want to have kids. They want to be parents. So it is a scale… Where do you put it on the scale? Where is the thin line to cross or not? You have to respect everybody’s desires and way of living. But it would be too hard for TV... There’s this thing about gay people… it seems to me, and I don’t know if I’m mistaken or not… but they’re more ‘pervert’ in a sense. And to me the show would be too strong… too hard to watch.”
Okay, not a way to win friends and influence people.

UPDATE ABC condemns his statements and Juan apologizes
ABC statement:
“Juan Pablo’s comments were careless, thoughtless and insensitive, and in no way reflect the views of the network, the show’s producers or studio.”

Juan Pablo apologized via his Facebook page:
        
 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.

But making out with 20 different women makes for a wholesome family television program!

Gays run the world and he had better watch his mouth because we gays have the power to make up or break up.
