GenQ - For the not so straight individual

While performing Big Brother's speed dating task, David asks Camilla if she would hold a grudge to anyone that has misled her. Acting confused, she takes offence to the question and demands if he has misled her.

Even though David is trying to evaluate Camilla's possible reaction to him ?coming out?, he remains evasive about the subject. Camilla leaves the conversation upset and David then enters the Diary Room.

When he reemerges, David gathers the housemates to the lounge. As he begins to speak, the housemates sit in silence to learn about this mysterious grouping.

He explains that during the ?getting to know you? task, it has been very difficult for him as he hasn't been able to reveal all of himself to everyone. David says, ?I've skipped questions and I've allowed you guys to assume things?.

The housemates listen curiously, giving David their complete attention. He says, "I wouldn't normally be speed dating where guys are on one side and girls are on the other. I'd be speed dating where guys are on one side and guys are on the other."

David finally reveals: "I'm the token farmer and the token gay guy." Everyone starts clapping, getting up to congratulate him with handshakes and gugs. That is everyone, except buddy Camilla, who has seemed to take a liking to David over the last couple of days.

She begins to cry and David tries to comfort her. Camilla explains that she feels that she has been deceived, making her look like a fool in front of the other housemates.

David reassures her, before taking some time out by himself out side. Overwhelmed, he breaks down and starts to cry. The reality of ?coming out? to the housemates, also means he will now have to face everyone in his local town and wherever he goes.

He is later joined by Karen, who tries to reassure David. He explains to her that he hopes his parents is okay and worries that people from his local town will class him as a social outcast. Karen tells him, ?That's the strongest thing anyone's ever done?. She says his family will love and accept him no matter what, ?You've told Australia. You're never going to be in that situation again?. David feels a sense of relief that finally his family knows.

Later David and Camilla are together alone in the bathroom. He hopes that he has set a good example for other gay farmers in rural Australia.

Before checking all the doors to ensure they are both alone, David then reveals he finds Dino and Michael attractive ? but most of all Jamie.

Meanwhile John and Dino are discussing David's announcement in the lounge area, saying that he did it well. John then reminds Dino that he is sleeping in David and Camilla's bed tonight. Dino remarks, ?Cool best of both worlds?.

Later sitting on his bed, David reveals his photos with some of the other housemates. One of the photos he proudly shows is of himself and a handsome Lebanese man on horseback. He also comments that he met someone 3 weeks before he entered the house. When asked earlier in the day if the person he was seeing before coming in will stop him from doing anything in the house, he replies, ?I've never closed myself off to opportunity. If you see an opportunity, take it?.

David leaves the bedroom later and enters the Diary Room. He then breaks down to Big Brother.

He has certainly shared with us a very private and intimate element of his life. It was remarkable seeing this unfold, experiencing David's true feelings and emotion every step of the way throughout the night. Not knowing whether to share his tears, or a sense of excitement for him, I can't help but feel moved by this. David's story is one that is a positive example for the Australian audience to experience.
