Is mainstream TV ready for a “Gay Bachelor” show?

Rachel Long

"Yes, there would be plenty of commercial sponsors. But I’m just not sure if it would have a sustained viewership. The gay community is very engaged in national life. I would hope that gay people would watch the show and support it."


Cole McCann
student | South Philadelphia
"Yes, I’m surprised it’s not a show yet. The gay community is a large community. I believe there’s a large demand for the show. In being optimistic, I think a show like that would be a moneymaker for commercial sponsors."


Jasmine Miller
fashion designer | South Philadelphia
"I’ll give it two years. The country is moving so rapidly in favor of LGBT rights. The Internet is helping people change. It’s just a matter of time. In two years, I fully expect mainstream TV to air a ‘Gay Bachelor’ show."


Wylie Veasey
student | Queen Village
"Yes. Big cities in America have strong gay populations. There would be a significant group out there to watch the program. Once there’s enough people watching the show, it won’t have a problem getting commercial sponsors."
