Demi Burnett<\/strong> won’t let a few critics stand get in the way of her journey to finding love. <\/p>\n

A sneak peek at the upcoming season<\/a> of Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> revealed Demi actually embarks on a relationship with another woman, in what will mark the reality TV franchise’s first same-sex romance. While Demi is not technically the first openly queer contestant (that title goes to Jaimi King<\/strong> of Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> Season 4), she’s already being forced to take on internet trolls. <\/p>\n

The 24-year-old reposted several derogatory messages she’s received since coming out a “queer queen” on social media, including those from individuals who say they plan to boycott this season of BiP<\/em> because of her sexuality. <\/p>\n

“The moment you described the relationship as disgusting is the moment you claimed yourself as homophobic,” Demi tweeted<\/a> in response to one hater. And for suggesting ABC should establish separate competitions for members of the LGBTQ+ community, Demi had this to say: <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I know you’re trying to mean well, however, the goal is for the LGBTQ+ community to not be viewed as separate,” the star wrote<\/a>. “Saying they need a ‘rainbow Bachelor’ is a bit homophobic. We are all humans. Segregation based on sexuality needs to die. Coexist motha f–ka.”<\/p>\n

Demi, who first competed on Colton Underwood<\/a><\/strong>‘s season of The Bachelor<\/em>, did say that despite the negativity, the support she’s felt from her fans “drowned out all the hate.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In the Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> teaser, Demi is seen making out with an unidentified woman before telling the camera, “I know that I love this girl. I’m just so happy that I found her, and I can definitely picture being with her for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n

Only time will tell how Demi’s love story unfolds!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> airs Mondays and Tuesdays staring Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. on ABC.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
