" Celebrity Big Brother contestant Evander Holyfield&amp;#039;s son has defended his father following his controversial comments about homosexuality on the Channel 5 show. Holyfield was reprimanded by Big Brother  after he described homosexuality as a &amp;quot;choice&amp;quot; and compared it to a disability, appearing to say that it was something that could be &amp;quot;fixed&amp;quot;.  Ewin Holyfield has claimed that his father does not dislike gay people and does not judge others based on their sexuality. He told TMZ: &amp;quot;My dad is the most loving and caring person you will ever meet. He treats everyone like a human being... even if they are homosexual. &amp;quot;My dad feels that being gay is a choice... and naturally that&amp;#039;s how things work. You cannot procreate and make a baby with two women, or two men. But at the same time, my dad is not going to judge someone for their sexual orientation.&amp;quot; Ewin added that his uncle - Evander&amp;#039;s former brother-in-law - is gay and that his dad has always treated him like a brother.  The athlete was called to the Diary Room shortly after the conversation in which he made the remarks and was given a warning by Big Brother to make no further potentially &amp;quot;offensive&amp;quot; comments. Evander responded by saying that he understood that his remarks could be viewed as offensive, but stressed that he never intended to offend or influence the others with his religious beliefs. Boy George took to Twitter to express his disappointment at Evander&amp;#039;s comments, saying that he had previously looked up to the boxing champion. He said: &amp;quot;Shame, I had such admiration for Mr Evander Holyfield, he seemed dignified and I was sure he was a cool, smart, giant!&amp;quot;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
