Gay love island
Before I write what I’m about to write, please accept this confession: I have never seen a single episode of actual world dating TV. However, I have read D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding, a sapphic romance about fake dating turned genuine love on a truths TV show, about ten times. And I ponder you should read it too, but only if you love love and/or swooning, so only if you’re awesome. But that’s not why we’re here today. We’re here today to talk about Peacock’s Love Island USA, which apparently had a surprise bisexual coming out and also now has a queer couple(?) on it.
There’s a contestant named Johnnie Garcia, and she came out as bi in the most recent episode, because she confessed her feelings to Kassy Castillo, who said she’s never been with a female but was attracted to Garcia and interested in giving it a move. And then they smooched on the mouth in their swimsuits.
The main thing I know about Cherish Island is that the producers were worried about having gays on the show due to “logistical difficulties,” which is one of the more ridiculous excuses I’ve ever heard for not casting queers. Executive producer Rich
'Love Island's Queer Cast Is Ready To Make Reality TV History but the Show Is Still Stuck in the Past
Love Island USA is never small on drama, flirtations, betrayals, and steamy challenges are baked into its DNA. But Season 7 has something even more exciting: the real potential for queer love stories to take center stage. From the moment fan-favorite Chelley Bissainthe walked into the villa and declared her sexual fluidity, it was clear this cast was ready to shake things up. And when modern bombshell Cierra Ortega kissed her during a challenge? Life TV gold.
Despite heating up the room and our screens, the series still doesn't seem to know how to navigate sexual fluidity, something that holds back certain singles from being their most authentic selves (and creating truly legendary episodes of television). But as more LGBTQ+ cast members are featured on the demonstrate , it's clear the series needs to open the door to creating an inclusive space where literally anyone can fall in treasure — in the messiest way achievable.
'Love Island USA' Is So Close to Flawless
While Love Island is always stacked with a excellent cast of singles,
Dannii Minogue: ‘I Kissed a Male child isn’t a male lover Love Island – but we undertake need one’
Dannii Minogue is the pop princess turned TV judge who is now about to become the ultimate dating guru for gay men everywhere in her modern show I Kissed A Boy.
And no, this isn’t a gay Love Island.
Here, the singer talks breaking boundaries with her LGBTQ digital dating show, the circus of X Factor and we question why are the Minogues the ultimate gay icons?
So your new show I Kissed A Lad, there’s a lot of snogging and there’s a lot of boys, but there’s so much heart and a lot to absorb in there too.
Yeah, the kiss is just the first stage and then there’s the conversations that happen after that, for sure. For me, that’s what is so absorbing. I guess the first question I get asked by anyone is, ‘is this gay affectionate Ireland?’ No, not really. But there for sure should be a queer Love Island.

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island will always be a 'straight series' despite clamour to include gay contestants, declare bosses who admit they're start to introducing show's first 'throuple'
Love Island will always be a 'straight series' despite pressure from viewers to include gay contestants.
Producers insist that the popular digital dating show 'is not a similar sex production' but admit they're open to introducing Love Island's first 'throuple', given three-way relationships are 'trendy' among celebrities.
While rival dating shows including E4's Married at First Sight and Celebs Go Dating, as well as Dannii Minogue's new BBC Three series I Kissed a Young man, recruit stars from the Diverse community, Love Island remains a series about heterosexual relationships.
Executive producer Mike Spencer told MailOnline that the format has 'dictated' the show only casting straight Islanders despite 2019 winner Amber Gill now being in a equal sex romance and former contestant Megan Barton-Hanson identifying as bisexual.
He said: 'The show format is more open to bisexual Islanders, but it is not a same sex production as such. The format has dictated that and we're not going to change that right now, no.
