So Toya started it. Gosh surprise surprise. How typical that she throws the grenade then scurries off to let her minions take the fallout.

Calling any human "it" is a bugbear of mine, maybe cos I've got an interest in stuff like genocide and hate anything that dehumanises. It is, in my opinion, the most denigrating insult but also manages to make the person saying it seem like an imperious hateful arsehole.”
I agree with both your points here. Toya is a horrible bitter person who never got over the fact there was a bigger Queen Bee in the house. Any other year she would have been high up the hate list but we're expected to think she's one of the good guys simply because she didn't like Helen. Like you, I also think it's extremely degrading to call someone "it" so I found this whole conversation pretty disgusting. If they had to bitch like that, why not do it in private? The only answer is that they wanted to cause some trouble.
That said, Helen's not actually tagged in the conversation. I don't know if she follows Matthew and Toya but I'd be surprised if she did. So who was the Tell Tale Tit who got Helen involved?
What right does she have to bleat on about Matthew being gay? It's totally possible to have straight men who act camp. So either, in Helen's logic, Matthew must be gay because he sounds gay or she actually has some gossip on him. I can't for one second imagine Matthew would have chosen Helen to confess something so personal to. If Helen does actually know something then it more than likely came from someone Matthew thought he could trust. Or maybe she just put 2 and 2 together and thought if Mark's so infatuated with him then he must be gay. Anyway. just saying this seems more guesswork than fact so I'm not taking Helen's comment seriously.
Then we had Christopher Hall wading in with his two penn'orth. I totally agree with him that outing people is wrong and Helen should have just told Matthew to eff off rather than speculate on his sexuality. But did Christopher seriously think Helen would take any notice of him? All that did was provide another target for Helen's baying fans to turn on.
Provoking Helen is like prodding a hornet's nest. Don't moan when you get stung. I don't know why all these losers can't just move on. Keep in touch with the housemates they genuinely like and ignore all the rest. BB was, at most, 10 weeks of their lives. Much less for Toya and Matthew. They should just treat it as that then let it go.
