Sleeping With Straight Men
Every time Colton Underwood makes a revelation, I like him just a little bit less. He all but admits how calculated his “coming out process” was (a process that conveniently happened after cashing checks from three seasons wooing women on various Bachelor programs). “To protect myself, I would only hook up with married straight men.” OK, let me stop right there – no “married straight men” are hooking up with guys. A friend of mine says he only hooks up with straight guys that want blow jobs. If they want blow jobs from other guys, they may not be gay, but they’re certainly not straight. Colton clarifies: “When I was in the closet, the only time I would ever hook up with men was if they were married because they have more to lose than I did.” What he’s actually saying is he only hooked up with other closeted (or questioning) men. He adds, “So, if they tried to, you know, ruin my career and my life for football, they had a whole family that they’d be risking as well. It’s a messed-up thing to think through.” Yes, it’s messed up. Colton was willing to ruin someone else’s life if push came to shove. He admits, “It was just like a way to protect myself. I mean, looking back on it now, I wish I would have been a little bit more vulnerable about just talking about my struggle with my sexuality. I think there could have been something just interesting in that conversation.” It certainly would have been a helluva lot more interesting than this one!
