Dan Bucatinsky: It is “maddening” people think gays are more a threat to marriage than shows like “The Bachelor”

Emmy winning actor Dan Bucatinsky appears on Oprah’s Next Chapter tonight on OWN with fellow out stars Wanda Sykes and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Love the point he makes about how people who watch silly shows like The Bachelor can think it is gays who are a threat to marriage.

‘The sanctity of marriage is that you can be on a contest and at the end of 12 weeks, you’re going to marry – for life – or at least say vows to, a person from a reality show that you just met. And that doesn’t threaten the sanctity of marriage? Are you kidding me?’

Busy Dan plays a gay journalist on ABC’s Scandal and also co-stars and produces Web Therapy with Lisa Kudrow on Showtime. He has been with his husband, director Don Roos (The Opposite of Sex) for 21 years and they have two children.

The Bachelor (and The Bachelorette) has been on the air for more than a decade now and the season almost always ends with a marriage proposal although the marriages rarely have taken place and most of the couples break up.

‘That doesn’t threaten the sanctity of marriage, but my love for my spouse of 21 years, and our two kids, is going to ruin families?’ says Dan. ‘It’s maddening.’

3 Remarks

  1. THANK YOU!!! This is EXACTLY what I have been saying ever since these shows came on. How can America sit and watch someone week after week making out with three or four different people each episode and then the week before the “WONDERFUL” proposal of marriage have a special night. And these are supposed to be the example of marriage sanctity? Thank you for bringing the thoughts I’ve expressed to people since these shows started!!!!

  2. Ben said so well!

  3. The answer to the question “How can America sit and watch…..” Just don’t watch it. I haven’t since it started whenever that was.
