Bachelor guy gay
I feel I must confess: I am not a member of Bachelor Nation. I have many friends who are in this community and consider myself an ally to it. Once, I watched an episode of The Bachelorette with a bunch of queer people and was shocked by how much queer subtext it contained but then was informed it wasn’t typical for there to be two Bachelorettes at once, which was a bummer to me personally because that dynamic was so fascinating!!!!! But recently, I was introduced to Jasmine Goode, a former Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise contestant who now appears on the Bravo series The Valley and who is bisexual. I knew about Becca Tilley already, of course. I decided to investigate just how many queer women have been a part of the often aggressively hetero nature of The Bachelor and its various spinoffs. By expanding it to include international versions of the franchise, I was really able to grow this list!

And now that I’ve rewatched parts of his season, I’m starting to wonder how we never noticed in the first place.
What a season it was. Colton’s narrative from the beginning of his Bachelordom—and in his stint on Becca’s season of The Bachelorette—centered on his virginity. It was a constant talking point that cropped up in conversations with all of the women he pursued, and even became a way for the exhibit to sell itself. Chris Harrison, the series’ longtime host, teased the season by
