Not everything’s coming up roses for The Bachelor. At an ABC party on Friday night, Juan Pablo Galavis told The TV Page he didn’t think the dating show should feature a gay or bisexual bachelor, explaining that gay people are “more pervert in a sense.” An audio of the interview was later posted online. Saturday, ABC issued a statement saying the comments were “thoughtless and insensitive, and in no way reflect to views of the network, the show’s producers or studio.’ Galavis posted an apology on his Facebook page saying he had misused the word “pervert” because English is his second language. “What I meant to say,” wrote Galavis, “was that gay people are more affectionate and intense and for a segment of the TV audience this would be too racy to accept.’ Galavis also apologized to GLAAD, and announced plans to meet with gay and lesbian families. The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8p.
