Evander Holyfield Pulls A Phil Robertson On ‘Big Brother UK’ Says Being Gay Can Be Fixed (VIDEO)
Well, Evander Holyfield expressed his opinion on gay people on ‘UK Celebrity Big Brother’ and his opinion offended a lot of people, including the producers of the show.
It all started when a reality star named Lusia Zissman asked Holyfield if there were any gay boxers. And that’s when Holyfield started expressing his holy views on gay people. He claims that being gay is a choice and it is something that can be fixed.
Zissman disagreed with Holyfieled. “They’re just born that way.” She told the retired boxer. And that’s when Holyfield compared being born to gay to being born with a disability. He claims that if a baby was born with a messed up limb, doctors would fix it right away.

Well, the producers of the show weren’t happy with Holyfield’s opinion. He was taken to the private room and basically got chewed out for expressing his opinion. The whole thing was a bit ridiculous and over-the-top.
Do I agree with his views? No, I don’t. However, I don’t agree with the producers basically telling him that he can’t share his views because they might offend some people. People might find it silly, but what if Zissman’s views offend the Holyfields of the world? What then? Do we not care about how they feel just because we disagree with them?
There is a difference between attacking people, and simply stating your opinion. Holyfield wasn’t attacking anyone, so I’m not sure what the big deal is.
