The Bachelor Ukraine contestant comes out as gay

Many fans of The Bachelor Ukraine show were in for another shock last evening. One of the show's participants came out. Andriy Khvetkevych admitted that he had gotten engaged. Moreover, his chosen partner was not a woman.  

The businessman stated that he was marrying a man. Some viewers had previously suspected Andriy of having a non-traditional sexual orientation. However, the show had carefully crafted his image as a macho man. Furthermore, he portrayed his love for Zlata Ognivych, albeit not very convincingly.

The entrepreneur himself stated that he had been driven by stereotypes for a long time and had not been honest with himself. Sure, we believe you. However, over the past year, he had thought a lot and realised that he was ready to tell the world about his orientation.

Followers of Khvetkevych's Instagram page bombarded him with angry comments. The show's organisers and host, Hryhorii Reshetnyk, who congratulated the businessman on his engagement, also received criticism.
