He isn't gay but he does like a lot of the stereotypical gay cultural stuff.

ABBA, singing show tunes badly, squealing, bitching, pouting, wierd efeminate dancing, a little mincing and a touch of dressing in women's clothes.

Has he done enough or do you have to actually be gay for the gay vote?

I doubt it. Cristian is the type to win over gay men viewers.

Not a stupid question.

Some don't believe in concepts of demographic bias,appeal and marketing and that's ok. Billions are spent on its study and application and it is very effective. Some still think the earth is flat.

Is that anything to do with his not being gay but associating himself with stereotypical gay culture or because he's a bit of a dick?

While Cristian will have a lot of gay admirers due to his looks, I think that men (unlike a lot of women) are able to separate their sexual attraction to a person and that same individual's worthiness as a winner. They realise that if Cristian was not to win, then it would not prevent them from lusting after him or his pictures in the future, so are more likely to vote for a winner based on other factors.

It's nothing to do with gayness, perceived or otherwise. It's everything to do with him being snide, condescending, petulant and prissy, with a generous side-order of disingenuous unpleasantness.

He will benefit from regional voting as much as any other HM.

I don't think the gay vote really exists - unless there's a "fabulous" diva type housemate - Nadia, Gina etc. and even then, it's not really much worth. How many winners previously could you blame on a gay vote?

How many gay winners has there been?

Glynn was proper welsh but was he gay yet?

Joel isn't gay and is a unionist. Will he get the Welsh vote even?

If we look across all of the series, including celebrity:

Brian Dowling (twice)
Rylan Clarke
Julian Clarey

If we include "LGBT" winners, Nadia Almada, Luke A and perhaps even Alex Reid.

Do we think they were due to (in part) a "gay vote"?

Personally, I don't. Nadia probably reflects it best but the others probably more because they picked up regular voters because they were nice/funny.

EDIT: Glynn wasn't out during his series, and finished second to Pete Bennett.

Same thing really JOKE!!!!!!!

I don't think he'll have particularly enamoured himself with the gay community. The episode with Aaron might (or might not) have gone down well.

Hard to say really.

Perhaps I shouldn't really have bothered replying as I really couldn't say.

I would say that my (gay) son and his partner simply can't stand him as they find his smugness and craftiness quite off putting - they're not keen on Tories either - so that's two gay votes not going his way.

He's neither welsh nor gay, which pretty much makes him disabled.

I'm welsh. In fact I live in the valleys. There's no way on earth would he get our vote. No one up here would associate with or support anyone who thinks the Tories are the best thing since sliced bread.

Why would he get the gay vote? Why would it matter? Is the gay vote worth more than the 'straight' vote? What is this obsession with peoples' sexuality?
