GenQ - For the not so straight individual

As one Big Brother housemate David conceals his homosexuality from fellow housemates, another housemate is defending his heterosexuality. Enter stage left, Gaelan, 26, of Melbourne.

When he met Gretel Killeen at the launch show last Saturday night, Gaelan marched out onto stage proudly - only to be asked, ?You seem a bit gay, are you?? from the Big Brother host. ?It was the way you walked out, I thought this guys a really attractive gay man!?, Gretel confessed. Gaelan nervously laughed and joked around by turning around and posing for his walk on stage a second time.

The carpenter has declared that he is not gay, also mentioning that the moment on stage with Gretel reminded him of old school yard chants. However, audiences still question his sexuality. Melbourne's ?Herald Sun: The Eye? reports that Gaelan is always the life of the party and this will get him far in the Big Brother house.

But one must ask, is Big Brother playing mind games with the audience? There's David, a hunky straight acting gay farm hand. But then there's Gaelan, an extroverted, straight man with a bad tan and gay mannerisms. He also described his body as a greek god. Not forgetting the curious Michael, tonight saying to housemates, ?Bring on the gay guys!?, when speaking of the shortage of single women in the city.

Well it's been fun guessing who might be gay and who might be straight, with Big Brother's welcome exploitation of mix-matched stereotypes.

It is rumoured that some of the male housemates told Big Brother during the audition process, they have experimented with the same sex. However, they did not consider themselves as bisexual. This fuels speculation that each housemate this year will reveal a secret about themselves.

Gaelan is a regular fixture of the Melbourne nightclub scene. His street nickname ?Styx? is known as he frequents clubs such as Q-Bar in South Yarra, Boutique and Revolver in Prahran. Believe it or not he is also a part-time stripper with the stage name of ?Prince Of Temptation?. Mmmm? straight or gay we still question.

David has already mentioned his search for love on the show - has Big Brother supplied him with curious inmates?
