Colton Underwood knew he was different at a young age. By the time he was in his early teens, he realized he was attracted to men, but had no idea what that meant for him. After all, he had grown u…

, Underwood reveals that before he was famous, he had sexual experiences with men, but confirms he was, in fact, a virgin throughout his time on “The Bachelor.” While on the franchise, Underwood says he did not disclose any information about his sexuality, but as goes with the nature of a dating show, certain questions were asked, and eventually his virginity took on a life of its own.

Underwood, who has repeatedly slammed “The Bachelor” in various press interviews over the years, makes clear that he does not want to take aim at the franchise, and he apologizes for his passive aggressiveness toward the show in the past. But he would like to help continue a discussion about the role that the media, at large, plays in perpetuating masculine stereotypes.

He continues, “Now, this is not an excuse for my behavior and my actions. I just want to say that I am fully owning all of that, but I think it’s important that people realize that what we’re subscribing right now in the media and portraying is very, very dangerous to kids, to youth, to young men, to young women, to everybody.”

Underwood has received a fair amount of backlash for the platform he has been given, in his coming out process. From a bombshell “Good Morning America” interview last month, to landing his own upcoming Netflix show, to thiscover, many critics have wondered why a cisgender white man is being afforded opportunities that other individuals within the LGBTQ+ community are not.

In his upcoming series, which is slated to launch later this year, Underwood will lean further into his feminine side, he says. For one, he filmed all of his therapy sessions on Zoom, which are fair game to air in his Netflix show .

A guy who knows he’s gay but goes on ‘the bachelor’. Is it more complicated than that?

Bravo

Is a man with a restraining order for stalking a woman the person we need to listen to about redefining masculinity?

Yeah, well maybe you should not have gone on the show as the Bachelor, fakely wooing girls who wanted you if you knew you were gay.

As the ex wife of a gay man, one wonders if he ever thought about the women he might have married. Did they deserve honesty? Truth? The opportunity to have a partner who actually loved and was physically attracted to them? Did that factor at all?

ok calm down sis, you aren’t the gay messiah 🙄

Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,480 inhabitants, so if kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos

Read the room toxicmasculinity isn’t only for straight men stalker

Please stop giving him attention.

This is a guy who's girlfriend had to take out a restraining order on him for STALKING!!!! Why are you highlighting him and his 'masculinity'? BoycottVariety

Has Colton actually had Gay sex yet or is he just still thinking about it.

Well good luck.

Colton, please stay in your lane. Being gay doesn't mean you get to tell all men anything. You might feel that way now that you finally had the courage to be who you really are, but that doesn't make you a prophet. Bye now.

Well he’s certainly redefining stalking and harassing your ex then pivoting to a new career.
