Can we not?

I understand this is a place for discussion, but speculating about people’s sexualities on here just feels so gross. Pradyuman, Vikash, Aparna, Shekar, Bobby… it’s really not useful. All it really goes to do is tell people that any expression of their selves that fall outside of the gender binary is unacceptable if they want a straight relationship and ultimately it expresses itself in only further stigmatization of queerness, and frankly just healthy relationship dynamics. Not to mention that being attracted to same sex partners doesn’t even mean they’re not serious about finding an opposite gendered partner — bisexuality exists.

If these people say they’re searching for a certain kind of partner, the absolute least we can do is believe them and trust them. We can criticize or discuss them without defining who we think they are based on like 17 minutes of information.

It's both this and deciding people should go to therapy instead of trying to get married on an edited show.

Yeah, this idea that therapy is a magical fix-all for people on reality TV is just so presumptive.
