Time to buy some popcorn and kick back: ABC's 'Bachelor' Juan Pablo Galavis Says Gays Shouldn't Be on the Show

After the idiocy of A&E's handling of l'affaire Robertson, it's going to be fascinating to see the reaction to THIS:

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

"They're more pervert in a sense. To me, the show would be too strong, too hard to watch on TV," said the star of the broadcast show.

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.

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," Pablog 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."
