"They targeted me with homophobia and slurs, and later attacked me when I was alone. It shook me. It made me feel vulnerable in a way no one should ever have to feel, especially not for just existing and being me. "This isn't just about me, or just about the LGBTQ+ community. It's about every minority, every marginalised voice, everyone who has been told they don't belong, the politics, the government, the people, they want to divide us but they will not win."
"I am still here. I am hurting but I am fighting. I am reminding myself of how far I have come and I am not allowing this to undo everything I have worked so hard to heal. The messages, the love, the support, the people who checked in or just held space for me to feel what I needed to feel have meant everything."
Cameron Cole, who won Big Brother in 2018 at 19, says he was targeted with homophobic slurs while celebrating his birthday, separated from friends and physically attacked, leaving a black eye and cuts. He described feeling shaken and vulnerable and framed the incident as part of broader hostility toward minorities and marginalised voices. The attack intensified his resolve to resist hate. In subsequent posts he said he felt overwhelmed by support, was hurting but fighting, and that messages from others helped him feel less alone as he continued healing.
