I’ve been religiously following the third season of Bigg Boss as my only form of guilty pleasure. Today, I came across this immensely WTF bit where the openly gay inmate Rohit Verma explains the concept of homosexuality. Don’t want to spoil your fun, here it is :
What concerns me is that he might be the first gay person that a majority of the audience might be seeing, the first male who claims to have a boyfriend. Such gibberish coming from him can only be harmful to the issue of homosexuality in India.
Add to that the bit where he says everyone goes through a one-week period between the ages of 5 and 32 where they feel same-sex attraction. If that isn’t a load of rubbish, most readers here (including me) need to be very concerned that we still have a few years to cross !
Atleast one person is sure to vote for him — Baba Ramdev, who agrees that homosexuality is a psychological problem.
After hearing him, I suspect he might not be gay after all, he might be bisexual or metrosexual or just an effeminate dude. Another dudette is Bobby Darling, who has undergone a sex-change operation, is now a female, but calls herself a gay man. How tough is it to log on to Wikipedia and find out what you are ?
I think Rohit Verma deserves to be the Dude of the Week, although I can’t decide between Dude and Dudette, so let’s just put that on hold.

I watch Bigg Boss too as my guilty pleasure and yes…im enraged at his take on homosexuality.
its a shame that he will somehow be the spokesperson for the gay community because somehow he is on this show. The man is rather mentally deranged. I feel sorry for him and his sexual partners.

@Udita : Have to agree. For one, why does he refer to himself as female ??
The guy’s a nut-case and would make homophobes feel vindicated.
