Underwood, surprisingly, said he thought a gay “Bachelor” season might do well if it tackled issues of monogamy and open relationships ...

I do find it odd that there hasn't been an LGBT Bachelor/Bachelorette season yet in 2025.

I'm not an expert on this, but a few gay friends of mine told me that the way gay dating works isn't necessarily the same as it is for straight people, which is why the show's format might not work for that. I'm not sure what "isn't the same".



Another thing, there definitely is going to be some "action" going on between the contestants when you put a group of gays and lesbians together.

It made the news a while ago, a female contestant who The Bachelor chose turned him down over another female contestant over on The Bachelor Vietnam.
