Juan Pablo Galavis apologizes for anti-gay remarks but still fails
Juan Pablo Galavis of The Bachelor has issued an apology over his anti-gay remarks at the ABC TCA press tour.
He issued a statement on Facebook saying that his English is not very good and did not mean to call gays "perverts" in the sense of what "pervert" means. He meant to say that gays are "more affectionate and intense... and that might be too racy to accept."
Um... what? That's the same thing asshole. LOL. Your non-apology apology is not accepted.
His own words:
People,I want to apologize to all the people I may have offended because of my comments on having a Gay or Bisexual Bachelor. The comment was taken out of context. If you listen to the entire interview, there's nothing but respect for Gay people and their families. I have many gay friends and one of my closest friends who's like a brother has been a constant in my life especially during the past 5 months. The word pervert was not what I meant to say and I am very sorry about it. Everyone knows English is my second language and my vocabulary is not as broad as it is in Spanish and, because of this, sometimes I use the wrong words to express myself. What I meant to say was that gay people are more affectionate and intense and for a segment of the TV audience this would be too racy to accept. The show is very racy as it is and I don't let my 5 year old daughter watch it. Once again, I'm sorry for how my words were taken. I would never disrespect anyone.
Sinceramente,
Juan Pablo Galavis.
