Lesbians at Sea: Queerness and The Bachelor Franchise

And now that I’ve rewatched parts of his season, I’m starting to wonder how we never noticed in the first place.
What a season it was. Colton’s narrative from the beginning of his Bachelordom—and in his stint on Becca’s season of The Bachelorette—centered on his virginity. It was a constant talking point that cropped up in conversations with all of the women he pursued, and even became
