This is from the Big Brother UK, apparently Evander Holyfield is one of the housemates on this season. Evander Holyfield apparently said gay is a like being handicapped, ain't normal and can be fixed comments during Saturday night’s episode of the reality celebrity show(did not watch sooo).
The Big Brother transcript
Luisa: Is there any gay boxers?
Evander: Yeah, I'm sure there is.
Luisa: Is it public knowledge?
Evander: Ain't no-one came out and said they were.
Luisa: I think it's really bad that no-one stands up and says it in the sporting industries. I think it's good to be open about that because it's normal.
Evander: What would be good about it? That ain't normal.
Luisa: We shouldn't have this conversation. No, let's not have this conversation, it won't be good.
Evander: The bible lets you know, that's wrong, that's right.
Luisa: That's just the way some people are.
Evander: No, it don't make no difference. If you were born and your leg were turned this way, what do you do, you go to the doctor and get it fixed back right.
Luisa: It's not about being fixed, it's about... that's just the way that you are.
Evander: No no no no no, you mean to tell me...
Luisa: I really don't want to have this conversation.
Evander: I'm not mad, I'm just saying...
Luisa: You don't understand, I don't think it's an appropriate conversation to have in this house, honestly.
Evander: All I'm trying to tell you, you know how handicapped people are born, you can't say because they were born that way...
Luisa: You can't compare, of course you can't compare someone that's gay to someone that's handicapped, it's not a choice.
Evander: Yes it is a choice, come on, that ain't the way nobody is made.
Luisa: I'm tired. I don't think people have a choice in their sexuality, or they would be unhappy.
Big Brother called Evander to the Diary Room to caution him about offensive language, but stopped short of giving him an formal reprimand.
'Before you entered the Big Brother house, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you. Last night, in a conversation with Luisa, you expressed the view that being gay was not normal and that it could be fixed," explained
Big Brother.
'While Big Brother understands these are the views you hold, they aren't the views that are held by a large section of society and expressing these views will be extremely offensive to many people. Do you understand why?'
'Yeah I understand why, I forgot about the thing,' Evander answered. 'I was just telling her my opinion, but it's not like I was gonna mention it to anybody else, that was just our conversation.'
'Big Brother does not tolerate the use of offensive language and must therefore warn you to consider very carefully the effect expressing such views may have and the harm and offence you may cause by repeating these views inside the house,' the all-seeing eye continued. 'Do you understand, Evander?'
'Okay then,' said Evander. 'Yes I do.'
Well, okay maybe homophobia can be fixed by a doctor, yeah definitely... check that out Evander.
