I don’t watch this show, but enough people around me do the point where I feel like I’ve watched everything!

I’d have to say that Carlton’s immediate defensive reaction says a lot about what he has already experienced. Yes, you’re not obligated to disclose any information that you’re not comfortable with, but that brings me to question why he would want to be on this show (though I’ve been hearing that’s how people try to find a gateway to fame is through reality TV, so there’s that) where he could potentially get married to someone he barely knows in the first place? Yes, it’s up to you to disclose this information but I would imagine that’s something you would want someone who you’re about to get engaged/married to know about?

I don’t like how he was trying to push this phobic narrative on to Diamond even though she clearly states her issue was his lack of transparency, not the fact that he is bisexual. “She’s mad because I told her the truth” it’s like it completely went over his head because of the guard that he was keeping up. He kept saying that she’s “the only woman who has had a problem” with it, but if that were the case, why wait until after the engagement, at the honeymoon to say anything? Even at this point he’s still being very dishonest, both with her and himself.

Then again, I do try to take these things with a grain of salt. Reality TV — scripted or not — always has some sort of distortion in order to make things more interesting for the viewer. However, even in the case that Diamond and Carlton’s story specifically is fictional, it still highlights a problem that is all too true for our community.
