Bachelor makes anti-gay remarks

The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis has apologized after stirring up controversy by saying that a gay contestant should not be on the ABC reality hit show. Galavis said his comments were taken “out of context.” The former soccer star told “The TV Page” that though he respects gay couples, he doesn’t “think it is a good example for kids to watch that on TV.” Galavis also used the term “pervert” to describe same-sex marriage couples. He then said that he didn’t mean to use the word “pervert” and that this was a mistake. Galavis describes this mistake in a Facebook status apology, saying English is his second language and didn’t mean to use the term “pervert.”
