When I say I think someone is gay, I mean it as the highest compliment I can give someone – well, when that someone is male.  Gone are the days when being called gay means a limp-wristed, wimpy wuss.  When women want to give a man the ultimate compliment, they say he’s “gay porn hot”…which I think says it all.  So when I say that I believe Colton (the virgin) on The Bachelor will come out sometime during his season in the hot seat, I don’t mean that as a slam.  I also don’t believe he’s lying or that there’s any duplicity in him.  I simply don’t think he knows – at least not completely.  He got awfully close when he told Kevin how “it” wasn’t there with Tia.  “What kills me the most is I’ve done that my whole life too.  I make other people happy.  My whole life, all I want to do is please people.  And the only person I’m hurting is myself by staying in things.  I feel like even with football, I kept playing because that’s what people knew me for.  And that’s what my family wanted.  And now I’m staying in this because it makes somebody else happy.  That’s not right.”  Sounds like the door’s creaking open.

When he left Bachelor in Paradise in inconsolable tears, Colton gave a curious exit interview.  He never said, “When will I find the right girl?  Why wasn’t Tia the right woman for me?”  He said, “Everybody’s got their person out there.  I wish I could have been the one to end up with her.  It wasn’t there.  I just wasn’t the person for her – I wasn’t the one she deserves.   I just honestly feel there’s something wrong with me, ‘cause I’ve never wanted something as bad as I wanted it to work.   I want somebody I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with.  I really did give it my all, I really did try.  I don’t deserve her.  I’m broken.”  You’re not broken…you’re just…well, you know what I think.
