Ever since Colton decided to be true to himself and share his identity, there has been an overwhelming outpouring of support. Fans and Bachelor contestants alike have praised him for his honesty and wished him the best on his journey to find love.
The revelation also sparked support from Bachelor producers. “We are so inspired by Colton Underwood’s courage to embrace and pursue his authentic self,” producers shared in a statement via Page Six. “As firm believers in the power of love, we celebrate Colton’s journey in the LGBTQIA+ community every step of the way.”
Bachelor producers are known to seize every opportunity that comes their way to make the show bigger, better, and more relatable to viewers across the country. So, it only makes sense that they would make history and cast an openly gay bachelor.
TMZ also reports that “producers were moved by Colton’s revelation, and they’ve informally talked over the last few days amongst themselves about a gay ‘Bachelor’ season.”
