COMMUNITY: In my humble opinion, Colton Underwood, the TV bachelor who recently came out as gay, is no role model for gay youth struggling with their sexual identity. I don't think it was his intention to be a role model for them, but I'm sure many young gay people watch “The Bachelor”, and may think he's someone to look up to. He's not. A positive gay male celebrity role model would be Ricky Martin, who came out because he did not want his children to see him living a lie.
