It’s time for queer people to invade Love Island.<\/p>\n
After bisexual host Ariana Madix<\/a> said she’d love for more gay bombshells to enter the villa, Love Island After Sun hosts Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa are co-signing on Madix’s manifestations.<\/p>\n Season 8 has proven to be one of the gayest seasons of Love Island yet<\/a> as it featured strong bromances, assless chaps, and plenty of tension between members of the same sex in the villa. Contestants Bryce and Zach have also stolen the show<\/a> with their flirty moments on camera, which have sparked important conversations on more queer visibility.<\/p>\n “I want to send a smoke signal to Bryce and Zach! You guys can kiss each other. I love gay love. I need more of it. I’ve been tired of straight men and I can only deal with gay men,” Miller tells Out.<\/p>\n “If they kiss, they kiss! Trans contestants would be amazing. Nonbinary contestants would be amazing. Everybody’s looking for love! If everybody’s looking for love, we have to include everybody,” Pessoa adds.<\/p>\n Although some fans are shipping for Bryce and Zach to be an item, their sweet and sensitive relationship is showcasing a softer side that’s not normally depicted for straight men on reality TV.<\/p>\n Both Miller and Pessoa hope Love Island serves as a wake-up call to men who suffer from toxic masculinity and have a hard time tapping into their emotions.<\/p>\n “It’s not gay to love your friends! It’s fine to cry in front of your friends. It’s fine to express yourself and to need reassurance,” Miller says.<\/p>\n “Men only hug each other in times of crisis and some men only receive flowers at their funerals,” Pessoa says. “Having some more sensitivity and these tender moments… I hope it inspires other guy friends to maybe be that way with their friends. Maybe we should have more girth checks!”<\/p>\n
